Overview
The Hatchery Kitchens is a handcrafted kitchen manufacturer based in Devon, England. Blending traditional British craftsmanship and innovative design to create architecturally stunning and functional kitchens, The Hatchery works with customers to create their dream kitchen, where no detail is missed and no opportunity for excellence overlooked.
Brief
After acquiring the original company ‘Devon County Kitchens’ in June 2015, our client approached us to redevelop the well-established business with a fresh name, brand and digital presence.
Our overall approach was to emphasise the uplifting effect a kitchen has on the home and to incorporate the central relationship with food, as we wanted to cement this as a more personal approach to the process of buying a kitchen. By taking the traditional process and making the following adjustments, we developed a fresh new theme around a dining/restaurant experience: the Introduction became the Starter, the Details became the Main, the Extra became the Dessert and Invoicing was replaced with the Bill.
Design
Through extensive brand development, we forged a new identity for The Hatchery and ensured that its essence was conveyed within the full suite of creative collateral, livery and signage through consistently coherent design.
