[01]Overview

About the project.

A sleepwear brand built around the moment the day finally goes quiet.

Havenn is a self-directed concept, done end to end over about six weeks in 2022. I wrote the positioning first — sleepwear as shelter rather than nightwear — and let it decide everything after it: a symbol that can be explained in one sentence, a warm serif held by a neutral sans, and a palette built on forest, sage and bone rather than the usual pastel sleepwear shorthand.

I drew the mark and its construction, set the type system, defined the colour roles, and art-directed the imagery. There was no client and no brief; the constraint I set myself was that every decision had to be defensible against that one line of positioning.

Two shapes, one idea.

01

Mood

Havenn mood board: rainforest and moss photography, arch motifs, the green palette, and affirmation cards reading empathy, breathe, one day at a time and you matter

The reference board the palette was chosen against — wet forest, soft arches, and the tone of voice sitting on cards beside them.

02

Why green, and why it speaks

Green as the residue of being outside — calm, protection — borrowed for a garment worn indoors.

05 / Outcome

A quieter brand presence.
