The Objective Archive (London, England)
The Objective Archive is an interior curation and creative practice built around art, objects and spaces. Rather than simply sourcing artworks or decorating interiors, the brand looks at how artworks, places and people can come together to create spaces with atmosphere, narrative and long-term value. Its audience includes private clients, collectors and commercial spaces seeking a stronger cultural identity, so the brand needed to balance artistic sensitivity with clarity and professionalism.
At the start of the project, The Objective Archive already had an existing logo, but lacked a cohesive visual system that could support the brand across different touchpoints. The logo felt simple, restrained and editorial, but it needed a clearer visual framework to work consistently across the website, social media, presentation materials, printed collateral and spatial applications.
The goal of this project was not to redesign the logo, but to build a more complete and usable visual system around it. My role included brand system development, website visual design and art direction. Through typography, colour, layout principles, image direction and content presentation, I created a more consistent framework for the brand.
The visual direction sits somewhere between a gallery, an archive and a lived-in interior. Rather than feeling overly polished or institutional, it keeps a sense of materiality, everyday life, spatial texture and editorial composition. The result gives The Objective Archive a clearer and more recognisable presence across its website, project presentations, client-facing materials and physical applications, while leaving enough flexibility for future artists, objects, projects and services.

The Objective Archive 是一个以艺术、物件与空间为线索的室内策展与创意实践品牌。它不仅提供艺术品采购或空间装饰服务,更希望通过对作品、场所与人物的持续观察,为不同空间建立具有情绪、叙事与长期价值的体验。品牌面向私人住宅、收藏者以及希望提升文化气质的商业空间,因此需要在艺术感、专业度与实际沟通之间取得平衡。
项目开始时,The Objective Archive 已拥有现有标志,但缺少能够支持品牌在不同触点中持续使用的完整视觉系统。现有标志简洁、克制,并带有一定编辑感,但当它进入网站、社交媒体、提案文件、印刷物与空间应用时,仍需要更清晰的视觉逻辑,使品牌不只是拥有一个标志,而是拥有能够长期延展和被识别的整体形象。
本项目的目标并非重新设计标志,而是在现有标志基础上建立更完整、可执行的品牌视觉系统。我的工作包括品牌系统、网站视觉设计与艺术指导,通过字体、色彩、版式、摄影语言及内容呈现方式的统一,为品牌建立一致的表达框架。
整体视觉希望呈现一种介于 gallery、archive 与 lived-in interior 之间的气质。它不过度追求冷静或奢华的艺术机构感,而是保留材料、日常、空间痕迹与编辑性的关系,让品牌看起来像一个持续积累灵感、物件与故事的档案库。最终,这套系统需要帮助 The Objective Archive 在网站、项目展示、提案材料与真实空间中建立连贯体验,并为未来不断增加的艺术家、作品、项目与服务内容留下足够的延展空间。
