When Roger&Sons approached Foreign Policy for rebranding in 2018, it was with the awareness that they had evolved from a second-generation woodworking business to thoughtful makers of bespoke furniture, with a vision of keeping a vanishing trade alive.
Through a brand new visual identity, we marked their maturation in ways both new and familiar: an increasingly experimental approach to design, rooted in practicality, sustainability and a deep-seated spirit of learning.
We knew the new brand had to reflect the brothers and express the maturing of the business, so we focused on elevating the ampersand, a traditional visual representation of their kinship and spirit as brothers.
The space, an extension of the rebranding, is important to bring people closer to what Roger&Sons do; it brings accessibility of woodworking and carpentry to the common people and functions as a showcase of their works and their inspirations.
