48° NORD Rebrand
Brand Identity, Editorial Design, Web Design
Amidst the trees, natural hedges, and wild grasses, the Breitenbach landscape hotel 48° Nord reinterprets the traditional Scandinavian hytte and proposes a holistic and a true ecotourism experience in Alsace, France. 48° Nord is not to build a hotel but to create a place to live, a habitat that welcomes people to reconnect with wild nature and encounter a new universe in unique surroundings.
The goal of 48° Nord rebranding project is to build an intimate and approachable identity system that could vitalize the sensibilities of the brand, and take people on a sensual journey by experiencing a very essence of nature’s qualities.
