Brand Identity

How M&S Plant Kitchen was inspired by authentic street food

When M&S came to us for help developing the brand identity and packaging design for their new plant-based range, we put flavour centre stage, and developed a vibrant, cosmopolitan brand inspired by street food. Bursting with energy and irresistible taste, every visual evokes a simple but inspiring thought: ‘unleashing the power of plants.’

We wanted to give the packaging the same nurture and care as we give to the product, and we feel this fresh and forward-thinking design does just this.
