22 Vendôme

22 Vendôme

REAL ESTATE BRANDING

A refined visual identity for one of the most luxurious condo projects in the world. The client wanted the brand identity and model residence to be as unique and luxurious as the address of the property.

 

CONTEMPORARY PARISIAN

22 Vendôme is a collection of private residences with elevator access. It is a mix of Parisian and contemporary design that highlights exquisite features. In addition to the well planned and intentional design and furniture selection, there is a wide selection of curated art known as The Gallery. From there buyers and prospects can pick the pieces that most speak to their style.

HISTORIC LANDMARK

Built in 1702, the Place Vendôme is a historic landmark. It became the home to Opera Garnier in 1875. It is a popular international attraction that brings people together from all over the world.

 
 

COVETED WALLS

Cesar Ritz opened his hotel at the location in 1898. The secret courtyards open behind the facades of the Place, owners of the most expensive and coveted walls of the capital. Private residences are rare and discreet. People often wait 12 years to live there.

 
 

THE PROJECT

frenchCALIFORNIA was approached by 22 Vendôme to brand the project by highlighting the uniqueness and luxury of the building and its residences. Our goal was to create branding that drew on the historic importance of the building and area while also featuring the new contemporary changes.

The Place Vendôme is inspiring on its own, and we drew inspiration from the building’s surroundings. While Place Vendôme is a historic landmark, the residences are postmodern. The juxtaposition of the two has created one of the most stunning and exclusive addresses in the world. We ensured that the branding matched the unique history and look of the address.

 
 

DESIGN

We brought together the new and old of Place Vendôme. Our goal was to create a logo that fused the past and present, much like 22 Vendôme was accomplishing in Place Vendôme. We drew on history and industry. The 22 is inspired by jewelry and watchmaking prevalent in the area. It honors what makes Place Vendôme so special.

The word ‘Vendôme’ pays homage to the residences themselves. It is modern and clean creating a logo that illustrates postmodernism. The branding had to represent both the apartment and Place Vendôme so it could work for condominium use, office space, and retail.

 
 

OUTCOME

Almost immediately multiple offers came into the property. The price per square foot is one of the highest in the world at $10,000/sq ft. The logo is still in use for the property and has been used in both commercial and residential branding as expected.
