The brief

Målerås has made hand-crafted crystal in the Småland village of Målerås since 1890. Its Stockholm stores needed a shop that would serve visitors from abroad as well as Swedish customers: two languages, prices in the visitor's currency, and quick payment.

The idea

Let the glass be the hero. Large, atmospheric room photography, a calm serif voice, and product pages that put each piece on a clean ground so the craftsmanship can be seen.
