Discovery
Palmellato is a concept of a premium fashion and accessories house, rooted in centuries of Italian craftsmanship. From the early Saracens introducing leatherworking to Sicily, to the establishment of the Arte dei Cuoiai in Florence in 1282, Italy became synonymous with the mastery of leather. Iconic houses such as Prada (1913), Gucci (1921), and Ferragamo (1927) began as leather stores, carrying forward this artisanal heritage.
A thorough exploration of historical, material, and market context revealed Palmellato leather’s nuanced role: while Prada popularized it in the 20th century, embossed leathers of similar quality predated commercial adoption, offering a rich narrative of Italian artisanal sophistication. Competitor analysis confirmed that Palmellato-inspired textures now feature across international luxury brands, yet a cohesive identity emphasizing its unique heritage was absent.
Define
The strategic focus for Palmellato centers on:
Heritage-led positioning: Emphasizing authentic Italian craftsmanship and historical lineage.
Luxury differentiation: Elevated embossed textures and premium materials as a signature of sophistication.
Cohesive brand identity: Ensuring all future expressions—visual, narrative, and experiential—align with a premium, boutique positioning.
This phase defined Palmellato’s purpose: to be a distinctive luxury fashion house, ready for strategic investment and global market positioning.
Design
The creative solution encompassed:
Brand Identity & Architecture: Establish Palmellato as a standout luxury fashion house for accessories.
Signature Brand Identity: Refined CD, typography, and packaging systems reflect heritage and modernity.

Brand Messaging: Crafting narratives that communicate Italian craftsmanship, timeless elegance, and exclusivity.
The design phase emphasized luxury and tactile sophistication, balancing historical reverence with contemporary boutique appeal.
Delivery

Signature Brand Identity: Conceptual logo, typography, and visual language prepared for implementation.
Brand Architecture & Narrative: Clearly defined structure and storytelling framework for future expansion.

Strategic Positioning: Assets designed to differentiate Palmellato in the luxury goods market and highlight its investment value.

Brand Experience
Where brand concepts come to life
Brand concepts achieve their real power when they move beyond strategy and become visible, tangible, and experienced across carefully designed touchpoints.
Through the proprietary 4D approach — Discovery, Define, Design, Delivery — every interaction is structured to express a unified message, a consistent visual language, and a clear market signal.
The objective is not isolated design outputs, but a coherent brand presence where every touchpoint works together to communicate one perception, one positioning, and one experience.

Sector: Trade Fairs & Event Services
Website: www.holtmann.de
Discovery
Holtmann GmbH & Co. KG has been a leader in trade fairs and event services since 1950. Despite decades of operational excellence, the group lacked an integrated brand strategy, resulting in fragmented identities across its subsidiaries.
A comprehensive brand audit assessed over 30 touchpoints across strategy, design, and experience, including logo, typography, color palette, visual language, digital and print materials, and exhibition presence. A benchmark of 60+ international competitors highlighted common industry conventions—generic naming, predictable color palettes, and repetitive visual cues—underscoring the need for a distinctive brand identity.
Define
The strategy focused on:
Brand architecture: Enabling Holtmann subsidiaries to maintain unique identities while connecting to the parent brand.
Heritage positioning: Leveraging the founding year as a key differentiator.
Design-led differentiation: Breaking conventional norms to reflect both innovation and authority.
The challenge was to craft a cohesive system that communicates experience, expertise, and a forward-thinking vision across all the companies.
Design
Key design solutions include:
Brand Architecture: Holtmann as the anchor; Mesomondo and Expomondo as distinct, complementary sub-brands.
Corporate Identity Design: Custom Logo, Colors, Typography, Visual Language
Brand Messaging: “Holtmann Since 1950,” emphasizing legacy, expertise, and innovation.
Collateral & Experience: Redesigned brochures, catalogs, emails, social media graphics, the website, and exhibition materials.
This phase emphasizes luxury, leading-level refinement, balancing heritage with modern design sensibilities.
Delivery
The ultimate goal was to create a integrated brand experience and enduring Brand Assets across all touchpoints:
Distinct sub-brand personas:
Holtmann: Serious, experienced, authoritative
Holtmann since 1950: vibrant, ambitious, innovative
Integrated Brand System: clear guidelines ensuring consistency across marketing, digital presence, and event experiences.
Market Differentiation: A unique visual identity in Germany’s trade fair sector, signaling creativity, leadership, and design excellence.
Through this transformation, Holtmann not only strengthened its market position but also established lasting brand equity, ensuring every visual, verbal, and experiential element contributes to the group’s strategic identity.

Brand Assets & IP
Transforming brands into protected strategic assets
Beyond brand expression lies ownership — trademarks, intellectual property structures, and managed brand asset portfolios designed to generate premium equity and long-term control.
A brand reaches its full power when it is not only differentiated, but legally secured, strategically owned, and built to expand in value.

Sector: Metals & Mining
Discovery
A refined brand and intellectual property architecture conceived for a vertically integrated copper platform positioned at the intersection of industry, capital, and long-term legacy.
The process began with a strategic exploration of the copper ecosystem — from resource origin to industrial integration — alongside stakeholder perception, ESG narratives, and global positioning signals.
The objective was to elevate the platform from an operational entity to a legacy-grade asset perception.
Define
A proprietary platform asset architecture was established, defining the copper platform as intellectual capital with scalable brand structure across exploration, extraction, processing, and trading.
This included IP-aligned naming logic and CD, asset hierarchy, and long-term intangible asset structuring.
Design
A timeless and restrained identity system was crafted, combining Brand Asset Design and Management with institutional clarity and material authenticity.
Copper-derived tonal sophistication, architectural layouts, and governance-driven guidelines ensure continuity, authority, and enduring brand equity.
Delivery
The final deployment transformed the platform into a scalable Brand Asset Platform — governed, protected, and strategically positioned.
It now operates as an intangible intellectual layer that enhances perception of permanence, credibility, and institutional value across global contexts.
