If there’s one thing harder for a brand than approaching the status of an icon - it’s retaining the olympic status. Sometimes by re-invention and evolution, and sometimes by creating clever conceptual connections. Just like us human beings, juxtaposing a brand to equally perceived personas and ideas tells the story of what it is.
When looking at a match between an iconic, first-row french artist as Yves Klein - leader of the 60’s New Realism movement and Swiss premium art materials brand Caran d'Ache, what we see seems natural & organic. The values of a brave artist, captured in the history of art thanks to his courageous decision to paint with a single primary color - blue - are embedded into the brand’s ID. Have a look at this interesting collaboration to observe what brand storytelling is.
