Moleskine has very strict brand guidelines, as does Microsoft Office. The team was tasked with designing a cover solution that could elevate both brands equitably while providing delight and surprise to end users.
Result: Focusing in on data visualization (Microsoft Excel is a featured app within the Office Suite); we landed on a series of concepts that combined Swiss design influence, clean and simple solutions with the embossed leather feature Moleskine would allow. The result was a well received set of designs that were beautiful to behold.
I led design explorations and war room crits. The always magical designer, Marcela Vorel is responsible for the final design of these beauties.
