In 2025, we were invited to collaborate on a project that asked a simple question: 

How can the tactile power of print reclaim its place in a digital-first world?

It was an opportunity to frame print not as a relic, but as a medium of expression, preservation, and modern heritage—one that carries meaning in every fibre, weight, and finish.

The scale of the project carried its own complexities: Aligning with global luxury houses while working intimately with private clients, exploring new material innovations while protecting the integrity of traditional craft, and translating the nuances of physical texture into a story that resonated in both digital and tangible form.

Our approach drew on a design language of precision and depth—balancing minimal restraint with expressive detail. Every stage of the process was shaped through close collaboration, ensuring each decision was not only technically rigorous but also emotionally resonant.

The result is a body of work that honours the timelessness of paper and print while pushing it firmly into the future. It is both an archive and a statement: a reminder that while screens may capture the moment, only print can preserve it.

As the world continues to evolve, this project underlines our commitment to material integrity, to expressive design, and to creating work that holds lasting impact. After all, our world unfolds on paper.

Herboo was launched with a clear ambition: 

Growing a modern life, deeply rooted in nature.

 The brand set out to inspire city gardeners by introducing a curated range of seeds and growing kits, reframing gardening as part of a modern lifestyle. Positioned at the intersection of clarity and creativity, Herboo makes the act of growing accessible, stylish, and deeply grounded in nature.

The development process carried distinct challenges. The curation needed to balance horticultural integrity with modern appeal—offering unusual varieties alongside easy, reliable options. The product architecture had to support different user journeys, from first-time growers to design-conscious customers looking for sets and kits. And the brand voice required careful calibration to cut through the overwhelm of online advice, while remaining approachable, knowledgeable, and encouraging.

Visually, the identity leaned into bold yet refined expression: a design language that was fresh, modern, and rooted in natural tones. The packaging became both functional and aspirational, crafted to guide without clutter and to inspire without pretension. The digital experience extended this clarity—offering an intuitive path from discovery to growing, supported by clear instructions, concise curation, and storytelling that connected directly to the rhythms of urban life.

Herboo is a brand that positions gardening as a modern ritual—an antidote to digital overwhelm and a reminder of the grounding power of nature. By simplifying the journey and an emphasis on the experience, Herboo has carved out a space that feels both timeless and distinctly of its moment: a modern practice for the gardeners of today and tomorrow.

Balston Agius is a British landscape and garden design practice with studios in Wiltshire and London, working nationally and internationally for more than three decades. Their expertise spans garden design, landscape planning, architecture, horticulture, and management—delivering projects from private estates and urban gardens to public spaces and conservation projects.

To rethink their brand identity and digital presence, the opportunity was clear: to create a platform that reflected not only their heritage and expertise, but their philosophy of creativity, craft, and ecological balance—while also maintaining the discretion expected of a practice working on private and sensitive projects. The challenge lay in carrying the weight of a 30-year legacy while ensuring the brand felt fresh, modern, and relevant to international clients.

Our response was a design language of restraint and refinement—balancing natural textures and tonal depth with bold typographic clarity. The identity was stripped back to essential elements, allowing the landscapes to take centre stage, while the website became a fluid platform for storytelling, showcasing projects through immersive imagery, layered detail, and a considered editorial voice.

The result is a brand and digital presence that reflects Balston Agius not simply as landscape designers, but as shapers of environments—spaces that hold meaning, grow over time, and invite lasting connection.
