La Diplomate celebrates tea. They offer 60+ teas from all over the world. The project includes visual identity, and packaging solutions for the gorgeous 18th century storefront that sits on a quaint pedestrian lane in the center of Bordeaux, France.
First a story was developed about this mysterious Diplomate who once traveled the world in search of the rarest, finest teas. From here her likeness was created in a simple mark. One can experience the history and colorful complexity of tea at La Diplomate. As well as the tea, the space and the brand identity have been inspired by a mix of references through History and Geography: a timeless design for an ancient product. Original features of the shop, include a 17th century fireplace, metallic office ceiling from the 80's, and guilded detailing. Just like the Lady Diplomate, this shop is from an undisclosed time. She is independent, chic and open to the world.
This is a project under Rice-Creative.
