Diwan

The Middle East’s leading bookstore gets a makeover and brand refresh.

Brand Refresh and Digital Redesign, 2020

We collaborated with Diwan to refresh their brand and roll out a new digital presence alongside other brand collateral. The new brand was inspired by a vibrant tradition of Arabic calligraphy, and Diwan’s position as a bridge between East and West.

Local artists

Working with local artists Adham Bakry and Mahmoud Atef, we developed a unique calligraphy piece that was then used as a layered pattern in store, online, and even on a truck.
