TL;DR

Ahead of Damo’s second location, I developed a new brand system, logo, color palette, and art direction inspired by the way light filters through hanji and creates shifting shadows.


Across brand touchpoints, I kept the experience intentionally handmade through details like stamped tape labels and tactile packaging, creating a cohesive identity that connected the physical space with the brand.

Influence

The identity was designed around the idea of creating a space for rest, translating into a more tactile and atmospheric visual language that also informed the new location’s interior direction—from dark woods and angular forms to vintage pieces rooted in Korean aesthetics.
