From: makes the gift of giving easier than ever before. 

"We were tasked with envisioning a retail store with exclusive products that target and fills the current market gaps. Through research and analysis of generational habits, the current store brand landscape and pinpointing target audiences, we found a demand in a few specific areas. Consumers are looking for items with a story that supports their desire for personal expression. Additionally, we discovered there is a shift happening within the definition of consumer value. People are moving away from the notion of monetary value and instead are searching for value in knowledge, craftsmanship, ultimately searching for a sense of connection to the world around them.

The From: store and packaging were conceptualized around the idea of receiving a letter. Our products are a gift to the customer, specialized just for them."

"PARTNERSHIP BRAND

The From: Partnership brand is the most individual of the overarching store labels. While adhering to all the overall core values, this label independently communicates the aspect of partnership for the From: Store. Every quarter, the From brand partners with a local business and together they collaborate to create new edition of products. 

For this initial edition, we partnered with a local ceramics artist, Julia Lemke. Her small business Totem Co., based out of Berkeley, is a collection of homeware and jewelry inspired  natural forms, simplicity and traditional craft. All her products are made and thrown by hand, then designed through her special glaze chemistry process. The packaging for this edition was inspired by Julia’s scientific processes and artistry in her pieces."
