2022

Aline opened a 70,000 sq ft warehouse and showroom near Toronto in 2022 to sell cabinets wholesale — flat-packed, assembled, or by the container straight from its factories. A business built on exact sizes needed a brand just as exact. We drew the logo and wrote its rules, set the product guide to the whole range, and made the banner that stands at the showroom door.

01Identity

A red square
with an A cut from it.

The A isn’t printed on the square; it’s cut out of it. Its left leg runs straight through the edge, so letter and block read as one piece, the way a panel comes off the saw. Beside it, ALINE in wide capitals over WHOLESALE CABINETRY in grey. The guide fixes three colours, a clear space and four colourways: black, white, red and charcoal.

02Product guide

Every cabinet,
drawn in line.

A letter-size guide to the whole range. The cover says only what Aline is — WHOLESALE CABINETRY, a red rule, PRODUCT GUIDE — and the back sets out the warehouse and its services on charcoal. Inside, every cabinet is a line drawing with its code and sizes, priced across four door styles: Double Shaker, Shaker, Matte and High Gloss. Re-set here, the cover carries the archive’s own photograph of a dovetailed drawer.

Code on the left, door styles across, one cabinet to a row. Every drawing shares one weight and one angle, so any page reads the same way.

03Showroom

Eighty inches tall,
read from across the room.

The banner stands 33.5 by 80 inches at the showroom door. Logo at eye level, the trade in large capitals, then the warehouse’s story, and on charcoal the four services over a cabinet drawing. The print set a stock kitchen above a phone bar and a QR code; re-set here on the archive’s photograph of a panel edge, without the contact block.

Scope
Logo design · Identity guide · Product guide · Showroom roll-up banner

Logo, identity guide, product guide and roll-up banner designed by the studio in 2022. Photographs come from the client’s website image set in the archive; the photographer is not recorded. Cabinet line drawings are the client’s product drawings. On this page the guide’s covers, a catalogue page and the roll-up are re-set as HTML from the original files: the stock kitchen photograph they used is replaced with the archive’s own photographs, and the phone number, address and QR code are removed. The catalogue page shows the layout only; prices are withheld. No AI imagery is used.
