Manor Belgium

The MB monogram is drawn like a precious piece of calligraphy, taken from old coats of arms and family houses. It plays on two things at once: MANO, the hand and human craft, and gold. But it does not stop at the screen. It is pressed into wax on the packaging, at the moment of unboxing. That decision holds the rest of the system together: a palette of ruby red, patinated gold and deep browns that quietly revisits the Belgian flag, a shape borrowed from manor doors that works as a frame, and three typefaces, one of them a calligraphy reserved for the single word Belgium. The product sits on a worktop, so it is seen close up and for a long time. The glass bottle, the box and the wax seal are the first contact, before any advertising: that is where the brand has to prove a washing-up liquid belongs next to the objects you keep. The pattern and the manor-door shape act as a shared frame across the three references, which makes them read as a collection rather than three products in a row.
