Fashionable Home Goods
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Sole is an e-commerce brand selling fashionable home goods, anchored by its flagship product: candles molded in the shape of iconic sneakers. The brand needed an identity as sophisticated as the fashion and streetwear world its product borrowed from, covering logo, typography, packaging, and a secondary candle line.

CHALLENGE
The product itself was novel and playful, but the brand couldn't lean into novelty alone. It needed to read as minimalist and premium, feel at home next to fashion and streetwear labels, and translate that same sophistication across two very different product lines: sculptural sneaker candles and a more traditional paint-can candle range, without one undercutting the other.
SOLUTION
The logotype centers on a custom 's' brandmark shaped like a wisp of smoke, tying the identity directly back to the product experience of a burning candle. Typography was chosen for flexibility, a combination that could flex between minimalist and expressive depending on the medium, echoing the pairing conventions common in fashion and streetwear branding. Packaging for the sneaker candles drew directly from sneaker box design, using restrained color and typography to build anticipation before the box is even opened, finished with a melted wax motif on top as a hypnotic, brand-owned focal point. For the paint-can candle line, labels went heavily typographic, a deliberate contrast to the minimalist visual language that dominates the home-candle category.
