John Lobb

Emma Thomas

APFEL was commissioned to design a new visual identity for John Lobb following the appointment of Paula Gerbase as the new Artistic Director of the brand in 2014. The designs establish a distinct and thoughtful graphic language, which evolved from early packaging and stories from within the company archives. These elements inspired the new logotype, colour palette, materials and collateral to create a contemporary identity for John Lobb.
