Manos:
Shaped by Artisan Hands
Year
2025

Project Type
Identity Design

“Manos” means “hands” in Spanish—an ode to the makers behind every object we live with. This project explores the emotional weight of handcraft in a digital world, reimagining a lifestyle space where the tactile, the imperfect, and the intimate take center stage. 
From ceramics to sculptural furniture, MANOS curates a system of objects shaped by time, material, and human touch. As the designer, I crafted a visual identity that feels grounded yet elevated, with a tone that is quiet, intentional, and rooted in the aesthetics of slow living.

“Manos” 在西班牙语中意为“手”,致敬每一件陪伴我们生活的手作物背后的创作者。本项目探讨在数字化时代中,手工艺所承载的情感重量,并重构一个以触感、瑕疵与亲密感为核心的生活空间。
从陶器到雕塑感家具,MANOS 汇集了一系列由时间、材质与人手共同塑造的物件。
作为设计者,我为品牌打造了一套视觉识别系统,气质内敛、克制,同时富有质感与节奏,呼应“慢生活美学”中的平静与专注。


The curved 'm' forms the fingers, while the spiral suggests the motion of weaving—echoing manos’ commitment to craft.
