In advance of opening its first location, Habit Coffee approached caste to help develop a comprehensive visual identity.  To reflect the community-oriented, craft-focused approach to their business (the cafés employ entirely manual equipment, brewing exclusively artisan roasted beans), graphics, typography, and materials were kept deliberately low-fi.  To attract a diverse, forward thinking crowd, typography and imagery varies greatly, but each element is infused with a tongue-in-cheek playfulness, and a whimsical reverence for coffee's connection to contemporary culture.

Caste's work with Habit Coffee is ongoing.</description>

In mid 2009, the Vancouver-based jewelry design house Pyrrha, approached Caste for help creating a consistent aesthetic for their print and promotional material -- one that reflected the craft-based nature of their product and approach to business.  Working in collaboration with Pyrrha's designers, Caste employed the talent and experience of letterpress printers Blackstone Press, along with Quebec papery  St. Armand to create a collection of elegant print materials that look and feel nearly as precious as the jewelry that Pyrrha creates.

Caste is also engaged with creating ongoing marketing and advertising imagery that Pyrrha uses in a wide range of applications.

Responsibilities, in collaboration with Pyrrha:

- Art-Direction
- Photography
- Graphic Design
- Copywriting
- Hand-Typography
- Print production</description>

Pyrrha's jewelry occupies a unique space within the contemporary jewelry landscape: it is thoroughly modern in form while retaining a distinctly "antique" aesthetic.  It is made by hand in Vancouver, BC, using traditional techniques in a labour-intensive process.  Pyrrha needed a way to communicate its aesthetic roots, design process, and brand history to a widespread and varied customer base.

Caste aided Pyrrha in assembling a visual and verbal narrative, from which a comprehensive brand book was developed.  The book's content, format, paper stock, and print techniques, work together to communicate the romantic, emotional, tactile quality of the Pyrrha brand.

Responsibilities, in collaboration with Pyrrha:

- Research
- Copywriting
- Photography
- Illustration
- Design
- Print production</description>

In April 2010, Pyrrha Jewelry opened its first flagship retail location in West Hollywood California.  Working closely with Pyrrha's designers, Caste helped create a space that presented Pyrrha's jewelry in a context that reflected the Pyrrha brand.  The interior features a mixture of vintage and custom jewelry displays, including a display shelf made from over 750 hardcover books.
