Gramophone

Design | Build

When a legacy brand with nearly five decades of design expertise set out to redefine its future, our team was engaged to help shape and celebrate its evolution. Working collaboratively with PR power-house Collins + Co., we developed a strategic identity and launch experience that introduced Gramophone Design Build (formerly Maryland Kitchen Design Center) as a destination for integrated design, craftsmanship and innovation. From positioning and event concepting to collateral development and marketing support, the SB team created a sophisticated framework that signaled the brand’s growth and its commitment to redefining the modern home experience.
