Morrama | Certified B Corp

Volunteering and donations As a B Corp, we strive to improve on our Impact Report each year. This year we did just that, especially in donating our time. 340+ Pro bono hrs working on projects including a redesign of two products for the RNIB that will launch towards the end of the year. 60+ hrs pro bono donation of time to work on a project to help the homeless and refugees yet to be released. 70+ hrs for mentoring and teaching. Meaning our total pro bono time for education, mentoring and charity has increased 170% (Our goal was 252 hrs and we beat this by some way!)

Jo spoke to Rob Alderson, Editor of Design Week about the next Design Declares event. The event on November 22 – Design & Climate: Changing Perspectives – is part of Design Declares’ work to “break that cycle.” It will focus on changing behaviours, mindsets and practices in the long-term, with a panel discussion and a speculative design workshop to get people thinking “10, 20, 30 years in the future.” Read more here https://lnkd.in/euWZxuH9 #sustainabledesign #designstrategy #designfuture

Partnering once again on our third project together, Wagamama have trusted Morrama to deliver their brand values across multiple touch points, from their innovative takeaway packaging design, to their staff bag re-shoring project and now the redesign of their iconic retail pack; allowing customers to recreate the taste of Wagamama at home. Bold type, beautiful colours and enticing visuals were at the core of delivering the refined and minimalistic retail pack refresh. Hierarchy, negative space and captivating bite-size visuals supported by recognisable colours for each flavour profile. The team utilised AI to experiment with product imagery before heading into the studio to shoot for real. You might not have guessed but all the images here are CGI too. This fresh new packaging line is now in stores across the whole of the UK. Learn more in the comments below. #packaging #graphicdesign #designstrategy

wagamama partnered with Morrama once again to create a distinctive and stand-out retail pack that would disrupt the shelves and grab the attention of customers nationwide. "Our aim was to ensure Wagamama’s retail range not only stood out on shelf, but that each dish was quickly identifiable. Whilst we explored graphical styles, nothing quite tempts you in like a genuine photograph of the food itself" Jo Barnard See the new range here https://lnkd.in/ezNMj4Ks #branding #packagingdesign #designstrategy

Circular & EcoDesign Workshop Jump into the new Eco-design regulations and ISO Circular Economy standards with this one-day in-depth-level look at the new ISO CE standards. With founder, Jo Barnard, Leyla Acaroglu and Alexie Sommer. It's not often we get so excited about an ISO standard but this one hits different. This workshop is for design practitioners of all styles, people working to advance the circular economy and sustainability, and business decision-makers who want to implement the new standards into their businesses, as well as for leaders who need to respond to international legislation around CE and ecodesign. You will be exposed to a wealth of creative experiences in all things sustainability in design, work out how to apply the new standards and regulations and connect to peers also working to activate their creative role for a better future by design. The circular economy (CE) is advancing rapidly and with new developments such as the international ISO standards and significant legislative updates in the European Union, nearly all product categories and companies selling into the European market are affected. With these changes, businesses need support and guidance to help implement and activate their circular transformation and designers are in a unique position to provide guidance and creativity in applying these. Hope to see you there or online. #ecodesign #sustainabledesign #circulardesign #leadership Link just in the comments

Part of our design strategy is to look at the whole journey of a product. Longevity and the ability to fix a product is key. Easy-to-access screws, reduction in complex parts and responsibility for your products are all part of the sustainability report we create as part of our process. Learn more about these steps taken with the design of our latest suitcase project. Link to the project below. #designstrategy #industrialdesign #ecodesign
