GUCCI
The making of Gucci
THE CODE OF FASHION
OVERVIEW
Consumers want to be part of luxury
brands, not just own them. This project for the House of Gucci made that sentiment
a reality. Including branding, original art, concept development for the Gucci Museo in Florence, Italy and a limited edition book & digital experience commemorating Gucci’s 90th anniversary. Conceptually
the project is a mashup of Gucci’s visual codes dating back to 1921 with the contemporary design expectations and modern perspective of Gucci’s Frida Giannini. All content for both the book and museum was organized in one of four categories identified by a Gucci brand
code. GG represented History, and Bamboo represented innovation, Horse Bit represented Mythology and Flora for Creativity.
SOLUTION
With the ambition to disrupt an industry with an intelligent hotel management system we tapped in to the vast experience of our client and developed a thesis on how a modern take on user experience could literally deliver industry redefining functionality. On this foundation we ideated and benchmarked our findings with functional prototypes tested in real world scenarios with real on the ground industry professionals. From this we set out to build the actual product — the minimum lovable service — a system built on a modern tech stack that allowed us to contextualise our persona based approach with an honest an purposeful modern design system which was optimised for maximum modularity, scalability and usability. Our final insight, which lead to the realisation that the system itself should dictate the brand identity, was that the experience of the system is the identity, which in turn gave birth to the company name — Intellotel.
