A heritage brand, reawakened.

Australian bedding brand Harriet came to us with a powerful advantage: decades of manufacturing expertise and an intimate understanding of how great bedding is made. In a market shaped by legacy players like Sheridan and Abode Living, brands whose long-standing presence has led to increasingly risk-averse marketing, Harriet saw an opportunity to do things differently.

The challenge

While the bedding and homewares category surged during COVID, a wave of digitally native, design-forward startups redefined how Australians shop for their homes. They were bold, expressive, and community-driven. Harriet’s challenge was clear: how do you compete in a progressive, digital-first landscape while honouring a deep-rooted heritage?
Our answer: position Harriet as a contemporary expression of a heritage brand, where timeless elegance meets progressive sensibility.

Enduring value in a trend-driven world.

Harriet’s unique strength lies in its direct connection to the manufacturing process. This isn’t a brand that outsources quality, it lives and breathes it. That insider expertise allows Harriet to maintain exceptional quality control, innovate with materials, and respond quickly to shifts in consumer demand.
Rather than chase fleeting trends, we positioned Harriet as a brand that delivers enduring value through thoughtful design and superior craftsmanship. Bedding that stands the test of time, both aesthetically and physically. An investment in long-term comfort. Everyday luxury, built to last.

Contemporary Heritage

The brand world balances classic visual cues with a fresh, design-conscious perspective. Traditional typography details and refined colour palettes signal experience and trust, while modern layouts, bold cropping, and lifestyle-led imagery ensure relevance in a digital environment. Harriet isn’t nostalgic. It’s evolved.
The wordmark reflects this balance. Its condensed proportions project solidity and confidence. Exaggerated serifs and subtle idiosyncrasies, like the distinctive kicks on the ‘R’s and hand-carved inspired contrast, reference traditional typographic craft. It feels established, but not dated. Refined, but not fragile.
