Carpenters Wharf
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Graphic Design / Integrated Graphics / 2017
Carpenters Wharf is a residential property development on Fish Island, Hackney Wick – a former industrial area of London with a revived culture of craft and making.
For fifty years the site of the development was home to a luxury furniture maker, this became the inspiration for the name ‘Carpenters Wharf’ and informed our visual approach.
Inspired by the wood stacks found in timber yards that once populated the island, we used locally-sourced wood from the crafters and makers of the area to create a bespoke set of prints that were used across every execution of the brand.
