RIVET
Rivet is one of Amazon's first private label furniture lines. Products are Mid-Century Modern-inspired — catering to the young urban professional — selling everything from jewel-toned velvet sofas to black metal lighting.
We were briefed to create the identity system and all brand collateral — from photo direction to online assets.
We created a timeless mark by combining a Mid-Century styled chair with the letter “R”. The identity was then paired with a retro palette and eye-catching patterns
to help balance a more modern photographic style.
