After engaging several international design agencies without landing on a solution they were happy with, Karl and Marina Hogarth were put in touch with us, based only a few km from their craft chocolate factory floor.

Initially we were briefed to make an extremely minimal high-end luxury design.

The design really came together when the Hogarths connected with an illustration we had already created of a boat at sea, and so we embossed the illustration on expensive art paper stock and the Hogarth chocolate brand was born.

After some success and increasing demand to stock Hogarth Chocolate on supermarket shelves the design needed to evolve into a more commercially viable treatment. Maintaining the initial elements, we created a much larger/bolder packaging that made Hogarth stand out on the shelves, while bringing unit production costs down.

All the while, the bar itself remained the same. Karl didn’t want a standard ‘block’ design for the bar, and with inspiration from the original illustration Ana had designed a layout for the chocolate mould, a work of art in its own right. With Danny’s help we created a 3D render of the bar design which after approval was converted to a 3D model and sent to Europe to be made into a beautiful mould.

Hogarth chocolate has received international recognition for both flavour and design and continues to grow from strength to strength.

Augmented reality: In 2023, Marina and Karl approached us to create an Augmented Reality (AR) experience. The hard work and dedication we put into this project make us proud of the final result.
