Laji is a hair and make-up studio located in the city of Osaka, Japan, with a distinctive interior design developed by dot architects. It features chipboard dividers and mirror frames, pegboard panels, strip lighting, exposed concrete ceilings, brick walls and utilities, concrete cast with wood surface texture, red stained floors as well as custom furniture created by Ryohei Yoshiyuki. It is a combination that makes the space appear more like an urban art studio or on-trend coffee shop rather than anything you might traditionally associate with a make-up and hairstyling space which, when considered alongside the studio’s identity, designed by UMA, is very likely the point. The project included logotype, business cards, discount certificates and postcards.

Torrefacto is a Russian coffee roasting business founded in 2011 in response to what they describe as the difficulty of sourcing freshly roasted coffee beans in Moscow, and the time and trouble associated with importing it. Torrefacto prides itself on batch production and hand roasting processes, good consumer relations – which sees its owners personally answering letters and addressing website comments – and a combined roasting and delivery service that reduces the time between roasting, which takes place each Saturday, and receipt.
Created by design studio Fork, Torrefacto’s new brand identity, which included logotype, packaging and stationery, reflects some of the convenience of door-to-door service, individual consumer-focused values and the craft associated with selecting and roasting coffee beans, through typography, structural design, paper choice, colour and finish, in a way that introduces character to, and increases the perceived value of, what has become an everyday experience.
