BP&O’s feature by Emily Gosling explores Nihilo’s branding and packaging design for tequila brand Casa Malka. The agency developed a holistic identity encompassing strategy, packaging, structural bottle design, illustration, and 3D art direction in collaboration with CG artist Haruko Hayakawa. The result is a refined, gender-neutral, and minimalist brand world that balances restraint with sensuality.
The Brand Identity interviews Edgars Zvirgzdins, founder of Latvian design studio Associates, Partners et Sons, about the studio’s origins, process, and projects. Zvirgzdins discusses their approach to identity design, including work for Paradox Holdings and Kampenuss, and reflects on the evolving Latvian design scene. The conversation highlights the studio’s craftsmanship, small-team focus, and commitment to educating clients on design value.
