Brandiaq designed a minimalist catalog for both print and web, taking into consideration the needs of both the EU and US markets. The catalog was designed to reflect Mobello's commitment to nature, using natural colors and high-quality images that showcased the craftsmanship of each piece of furniture. The catalog's clean layout and simple design make it easy for customers to navigate and appreciate the products. We advised Mobello on the type of paper that would be the best fit for them, choosing an environmentally friendly paper that maintained the premium look and feel of the catalog.

Before designing the catalog, Brandiaq conducted extensive research to understand Mobello's brand strategy and positioning. The agency also conducted a brand audit to understand the company's core values, target audience, and overall brand identity. This research helped Brandiaq understand Mobello's commitment to sustainability and its focus on nature, passion, and quality. Armed with this knowledge, Brandiaq was able to design a catalog that resonated with Mobello's brand and values.

The design process started with the art and creative direction. Brandiaq's team of designers focused on creating a visual language that conveyed the company's commitment to sustainability, nature, passion, and quality. The team decided to incorporate earthy tones and natural textures to convey the message of sustainability. They also included high-quality images of the furniture to showcase the quality of the products.

Although the catalog was designed for both the EU and US markets, the US version was Mobello's entry into the US market. The catalog was designed to appeal to the US market by including images and information that resonated with US customers, as well as all the furniture measurements chandes from the metric system to inches. The US version of the catalog also highlighted Mobello's commitment to sustainability and the company's tree-planting initiative, which was an important message for the environmentally-conscious customers.

The web versions of Mobello's Primera catalog were designed to be shoppable, providing customers with the convenience of browsing and purchasing products directly through the catalog. This was an essential component of the catalog's design, allowing Mobello to expand its business.

We had to ensure that the user interface was easy to navigate, visually appealing, and provided clear instructions for making purchases. This required careful consideration of the user experience (UX) design, to ensure that the product images are high-quality, showing the furniture from multiple angles, and accompanied by detailed descriptions and specifications. This allows customers to make informed decisions.
