01 / Context

Reflect the practice behind the spaces.

Interior Specifics is a Lagos-based architecture and interiors practice, bringing together design, sourcing, finishing and project management. Its belief is that a space should reflect the person and the journey behind it.

Argillic’s task was to redevelop the brand identity and give its presentation a consistent direction. The engagement covered three creative concepts, the selected identity, brand guidelines and application designs. Argillic also provided direction for the website.

02 / Approach

Three routes. One considered direction.

We presented three distinct creative routes: an expressive graphic mark, an angular geometric identity and a restrained serif monogram. Interior Specifics selected the third direction.

The final system develops the I/S initials into a circular emblem, supported by a separate wordmark for clarity at different sizes. Navy and gold connect the identity with the brand’s luxury positioning, while the line “Where luxury meets lifestyle!” gives the applications a shared message.

Three initial Interior Specifics identity directions: expressive mark, geometric mark and serif I/S monogram; the third route was selected.

03 / Implementation

Give every application a common language.

The guidelines bring the logo, colour, typography and application rules into one reference. We extended the identity through stationery, correspondence, presentation materials, staff identification and other branded touchpoints.

The mockups show how the system can move between small printed details and larger formats. The opening image also shows the proposed digital direction: Argillic’s contribution was creative direction, rather than website design or development.

04 / Outcome

One identity. A recognisable presence.

Interior Specifics received a developed identity and a documented framework for applying it. The completed work gives its brand materials a common visual language, from correspondence and presentations to apparel and vehicle applications.

The case study shows the resulting design system and its intended uses. Website direction formed part of Argillic’s role; the website build did not.

The connected scope

From identity
to everyday use.

  • Three creative directions
  • Logo & visual identity
  • Colour & typography system
  • Brand guidelines
  • Brand application designs
  • Website creative direction

Application mockups illustrate the identity system. Argillic provided website direction; website design and development were outside this engagement. Mockups do not document physical production or installation.
