Ask

Coolhaus needed a site that was as bold and colorful as their product packaging, while still functioning at an ecommerce capacity.

Solution

We took inspiration from their packaging and blended it with custom motion, cartoonish illustrations, and an easy-to-shop site design.

We brought Coolhaus’s mission of delivering adventurous flavors through an inclusive vision to life. To bring their entire brand to life while telling their unique brand story, we integrated storytelling and shopping throughout the whole site. It was essential to bring their activation events to the forefront and focus on the product and the entire ecosystem and cult-like following they have fostered as a brand.

Their vibrant packaging patterns were the inspiration behind the custom motion developed, and we brought them to life, literally, by adding subtle motion that made them breathe.

The result was a balanced blend of their cartoonish world and the actual products.
