The brief

What was needed

One estate, two brands. The farm needed a face for its villa and its crops, and the saffron needed a premium identity, a gift box and a shop of its own.

The idea

How it was solved

The villa is the bridge. It is engraved on the lid of every saffron box, under the line “Il gusto della tradizione”: the taste of tradition.

One engraving, two brands.
