In their own words
It lets the work carry sun-warmed freshness, movement and salt-spray atmosphere, without tipping into postcard cliché.
We built a system, not a set of one-offs. It means the identity can flex and grow, while always remaining unmistakably Olimera.
The last thing we ever want to produce is something that looks 'twee'. Going more abstract gives it a bit of edge.
We designed the logo to be timeless and elegant, intentionally to feel more premium than the product's price point might suggest, offering skincare lovers a pleasantly unexpected touch of luxury.
For the product shoot, we wanted to fully embrace the brand's deep connection to nature.
