Chantan Argan — Editorial

A second, minimalist direction for the same argan brand: a gallery-like store with twelve products across face, hair, body and men, an origin story page, a journal of long-form articles and refined product pages.

The challenge

Some premium buyers respond to warmth and ritual, others to restraint and information. This second direction explores how the same brand and catalogue can be sold through a quieter, editorial experience that feels closer to a design gallery than a shop.

02

The solution

The layout is light, airy and typographic. The hero states the brand in three figures (100% cold-pressed, 12 rituals, 1 ingredient) beside the signature oil. "The Edit" presents four products to begin with, an origin block explains the tree, the method, the hands and the yield ("one tree, thirty kilos of fruit, one litre"), and collections are organised into face, hair, body and men. A four-step evening ritual, a journal of three long-form articles and an "Our story" page deepen the brand. Product pages use breadcrumbs, a short tagline, add to bag, shipping details, how to use, ingredients, origin and "Pairs well with" suggestions.

03

User experience

The visitor reads the brand like a magazine: a clear promise, the origin in figures, an edit of essential products, then the journal and story pages for anyone who wants to go deeper before buying.

The outcome

The same brand, told with restraint.

Two complete art directions for one brand, built on the same catalogue: one warm and ritual-led, one quiet and editorial. Side by side, they show how design choices change the way a premium product is perceived, and give the brand a tested option for each audience.
