Natural State

A moment of calm in the chaos

The idea for Natural State was born during the pandemic. As the world shut down and anxiety was on the rise, we were briefed with creating a luxury personal care brand. The strategy was simple: what if we could take the elevated experience of department stores into grocery? And at the same time, could we create a brand that helps you feel calm? The end result is Natural State. A brand focused on mindful moments throughout the day. Little experiences of self-care. A longer shower, the rushing water of washing your hands, lighting a candle to signify the day’s over. The result was real commercial success. Incremental revenue, growing market share for the parent organisation and a strong brand platform for the future.

The raw ingredients

Crucial to the design of Natural State was the materials selected. Aluminium bottles, stainless steel pumps, metal candle canisters. We selected the best materials to give the brand tactile depth.

The identity is clean and understated. The NS monogram mark was inspired by interior design and architecture. The colour palette comes from tapware metals so the brand instantly feels at home on your sink. Fragrances that are unexpected and delightful.

Our design for Natural State brings elegance and refinement to modern grocery shopping.
