Ggaedok

The design of Gaenyeomsuda is a combination of the brand name Ggaedok which is an acronym of the Korean phrase Ggaewooja Dokhaeryuk, and quotation marks. The name is intended to boost Korean learners' confidence and reading comprehension ability. The quotation marks add a visual element of wit and intuitiveness that reflects the brand's nature as a study supplement for Korean. To make the learning experience more engaging, Ggaedok features characters that appear in both the vocabulary and reading comprehension books, providing students with an enjoyable factor to help them learn.

Not Always Fun

The ad campaign aims to raise awareness about Harlequin syndrome. This is a syndrome affecting the autonomic nervous system and is associated with absence of sweating and flushing of skin on one side of the face. The agency developed key visual illustrations which are based on the juxtaposition of the different representations of harlequin aiming to shed light on the disparity between the comical representation of the character and the reality of living with Harlequin syndrome, emphasizing the need for greater understanding and awareness of the condition.

Eyewear Collection

Eco Ocean

Eco Ocean frames are made from recycled ocean plastic, because plastic has no place in the ocean. Eco teamed up with the NGO Waste Free Oceans to source old ropes from the maritime industry found in the ocean and on shorelines. The waste material is shredded and molded into pellets which in turn are injection molded into frames. The collection consists of bold yet easy-to-wear frames. They are lightweight and super comfortable with a smooth, matte finish in ocean-inspired shades. Each frame comes in a case made from recycled PET fabric.
