IMAGERY LAB. FRAMEWORK

Imagery Lab is a company workshop focused on the construction of a brand’s imagery through a structured, step-by-step process. It is designed to help teams articulate and direct the visual and symbolic dimension of their work, aligning internal vision with external perception.

It is based on a clear premise: in design, images do not accompany products, they define them. They are where form, material, and use become a shared narrative, allowing objects to enter the collective imagination. Working on imagery means working on identity, desirability, and credibility.

The workshop focuses on the brand’s visual grammar: what it communicates implicitly, the tensions between collections and narrative, recurring visual habits, and the margins that can open new directions. The goal is to build an internal “image awareness” capable of guiding product, photography, styling, editorial language, and material culture with coherence.


The outcome is not a decorative moodboard, but a structured cultural direction: references, guiding principles, key terms, and tonal choices that enable the brand to produce images and products that interpret the present rather than follow it.
