New Work! Branding and interior design for Noox, a new co-working space just outside Lausanne, Switzerland. Inspired by 'nooks', Noox combines private offices with communal areas, fostering both individual focus and community engagement. The bold, friendly wordmark features an X symbolizing the convergence of spaces, capturing the essence of "Working together independently." The interior design reflects this philosophy with a vibrant, harmonious aesthetic, blending playful and sophisticated elements. Thank you for the collaboration Camille and Guillaume, looking forward to the opening early next year!

NEW WORK! With “Affligem VI” we created a limited edition beer series that pays tribute Affligem's six visionary founders. Six knights who renounced violence and founded the Affligem abbey over 1,000 years ago, blending tradition with innovation. Released annually, this year’s Affligem VI “Belgisch Brut” is a sparkling aperitif beer that combines rich brewing traditions with sparkling wine. Inspired by the idea of monks brewing their traditional Affligem beer during the day and experimenting with innovative brews at night, the design of Affligem VI “Belgisch Brut” is based on the concept ‘brewed by moonlight’. Limited to 33,000 bottles, Affligem VI Belgisch Brut is presented in a gift box and will be available in select locations across both Belgium and the Netherlands.

Manhattn's Bruges -Number Eleven- : a New Yorker in a medieval city It's an unexpected marriage, but that only adds to its intrigue. The two brothers discovered the perfect authentic building with an industrial, meat-packing aesthetic on Simon Stevinplein. The final interior design has undergone significant evolution since the latest Manhattn's executed. It aligns with the second Paris location set to open soon. The raw structure of the building was retained, while a clever mix of Art Deco pieces, steakhouse ambiance, and vintage decorative elements was added.

NEW BRANDING WORK: Nature meets science meets technology in our identity for biotech B2B brand axabio.  Astaxanthin is the red pigment that gives flamingos and salmon their vivid coloring – and it also happens to be the world’s most powerful antioxidant. Axabio is using their patented innovative reactors and AI monitoring to grow algae that produces 100% natural astaxanthin, ready for use in the nutraceutical & cosmetic industry. We designed axabio’s whole brand world, from the logo – made using a custom typeface in partnership with Brazilian foundry Plau – down to the naturally-inspired color palette, art direction, messaging and typography. It’s a potent mix of raw nature and the precision of technology. "WeWantMore was able to capture axabio's essence, crafting a brand that reflects our innovative approach and core values. Our vow to continuously challenge the status quo is reflected in both brand and tagline “natural astaxanthin, reinvented”. We loved WeWantMore’s no-nonsense approach and the fact that they pushed the briefing resulting in a branding that itself pushes the boundaries of the category.” Jonas De Cooman Tx for the great collaboration Maxime Pudzeis & Mark Michiels Read our full case study here: https://lnkd.in/e5rsnHca Brand in need of Astaxanthin, reinvented?

CULT Bruges : New branding & interior work ! Two renowned sommeliers running Blend, a winebar in Bruges, were in for a new adventure. They launched CULT, a gastronomic restaurant where they combine their love for wine and grilled meat.  The Venice of the North and its well known painters like Memling brought us great inspiration. Dramatic lighting, clair obscure contrasts, rich materials and the play of burgundy red tones were the base for both the branding and the interior.  Unexpected elements like the red volume above the bar, the reflective waiter station and the wall paneling with cow hides embody the daring entrepreneurship of the owners. The contrasting areas bring a cosy vibe with a dash of drama.
