INSIGHTS


Market research revealed a saturated landscape of highly decorative, statement-driven furniture, often prioritizing visual impact over everyday use. Audience analysis showed that 70% of consumers aged 20–35 prefer furniture that balances practicality with subtle design, indicating a clear appetite for simpler, more essential forms. At the same time, with over half of furniture discovery and purchase now beginning online, digital platforms have become the primary place where customers form trust and understanding. This shift underscored the need for brand touchpoints that clearly communicate a product’s foundational form, versatile function, and material qualities — not just how it looks in a styled space.


OPPORTUNITY


The opportunity was to design a digital-first brand ecosystem that supports the product rather than overshadows it. By crafting clear, consistent online touchpoints — from e-commerce to social — Dream House could communicate what each piece is, how it functions, and how it adapts across everyday contexts. The brand world was built to be product-driven and color-led, using playful restraint to frame the furniture within a cohesive, expressive system. This approach allowed the products to live within a distinct yet flexible universe — one that highlights form, function, and material honesty while inviting exploration through color and use.















THE IDEA

Design furniture that is essential, functional, and material-driven while incorporating playful supporting details. This philosophy is expressed through the brand identity and storytelling, highlighting how each piece supports everyday life.






DELIVERABLES


IDENTITY 


Defined visual system reflecting the forms with playful accents that reflect the brand’s personality, the products materiality, and their versatile function.


PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO


Cinematic lifestyle photography highlighting how each piece supports daily life and integrates into real home environments.


E-COMMERCE


Clear and engaging digital experience across desktop and mobile platforms that communicates offerings.

SOCIAL CONTENT


Platform-specific campaigns highlighting products in use, behind-the-scenes design insights, and the tactile quality of linoleum.
















THE EXECUTION

Dream House was designed and brought to market through a cohesive system spanning product, identity, and commerce. A defined visual language grounded in the clarity of the forms framed the collection, while playfulness was expressed through materiality and versatile function. The brand launched across a custom e-commerce experience on desktop and mobile, supported by social storytelling and campaign content that highlighted products in use, material detail, and behind-the-scenes process. Ongoing iteration and refinement across design, content, and production ensured clarity and consistency across touchpoints, allowing the products and their foundational role in everyday life to remain the focus.















THE IMPACT


 This project established Dream House as a fully realized brand, not just a furniture concept. Through market research, product development, and creative direction, the identity expanded into a cohesive visual and physical ecosystem. Over 100 assets were designed and delivered across print, e-commerce, social, email, and paid media, creating a consistent voice across every touchpoint.

The brand came to life through campaign production—direction, styling, photography, and motion—optimized for Shopify, Instagram Shop, and Meta Ads to elevate the buying experience.

Working with local and international partners, Dream House produced 16 products and four packaging systems, building a unified brand presence from material to message.
