Story

Bloom & Co. works at the intersection of floral design and creative direction — crafting arrangements that feel both spontaneous and sculptural. Viola was invited to create a brand that could carry this poetic tension between nature and form.

Challenge

The original identity felt decorative rather than intentional. It captured color and charm but missed the structural beauty that defined Bloom’s work. The challenge was to design a visual system that felt organic yet composed, capable of expressing movement, asymmetry, and grace.

Solution

Viola approached the redesign as a study in natural rhythm. The typography was set with asymmetric balance, allowing breath and irregularity. Imagery captured floral forms close-up, emphasizing texture and gesture over composition. A palette of soft whites and muted greens tied the elements together. The final identity mirrors Bloom’s own philosophy — beauty found not in perfection, but in living form.
