Alina Abegg – A Cosmic Shopping Experience

Berlin-based designer Alina Abegg asked Hy.am studios to create an editorially-inspired shopping experience for her iconic jewelry brand.

For the launch of Berlin-based jewelry designer Alina Abegg’s first major collection, “A cosmic escape,” Hy.am Studios were asked to refine her brand’s digital identity and develop a new e-commerce site to make her iconic pieces available to an international audience.

The Approach

Alina came to this collaboration with a clear creative vision.

Together with their own research and team workshops, this focused starting point inspired them to experiment with a playful yet sophisticated brand refresh.

The Solution

Knowing that the client’s target audience might not be digital natives, their end product – an easy-to-navigate site – puts Alina’s products front and center.

Through bold photography and expressive typography, Hy.am Studios created a modern, editorial layout that allows users to discover Alina’s cosmic pieces in a playful yet easy way.

A Bold, Modern Art Direction

They developed an elevated art direction, featuring sleekly minimal lookbooks; revamped packaging in the brand’s signature pink, embellished with a hot-foil stamped logo; an editorial-inspired approach to social media; and custom animations for digital media.

Overall, this helped the client to define her online aesthetic as equal parts sophisticated, bold, and fun.

Galactic, Custom-Made Illustrations

Working closely with renowned designer Filip Hodas, they delivered galactic, hyperrealistic 3D illustrations for Alina Abegg’s first collection “A cosmic escape.”

An Exclusive Online Shopping Experience

With a diverse, multi-generational audience in mind, they developed an engaging shopping experience hosted on Shopify and a sophisticated brand destination for Alina Abegg’s jewelry line.

The Outcome/ Impact

Since the website’s relaunch, Alina’s brand has caught the eye of several celebrities, media outlets and stockists – from SSENSE to Moda Operandi.
