Burberry

Nirvana CPH

As part of Burberry's reimagining under the creative direction of Daniel Lee, the brand returns to its origins with the Equestrian Knight. The designers at Nirvana CPH sought to showcase craftsmanship and British sensibility throughout the redesign, including their Stationery Note Cards, which feature the new flared sans-serif brand logo and the iconic Equestrian Knight playfully printed across the back of the envelope. 

The result is a finely detailed design that leans on the precision and deep pigment offered by engraving, embracing the intangible essence of craftsmanship. The material choice, Fedrigoni Materica, a pulp-coloured paper, allows the visual language to play a confident yet naturally complementary role, aligning the brand with time-honoured artisanal crafts.
