About Velour
Founded in 2018 in New York, Velour is a design studio built on the belief that great brands are quiet revolutions — subtle shifts in perception that compound into lasting cultural presence.
Our team of twelve works across brand identity, editorial, digital, and motion — always with the same uncompromising standard: nothing leaves the studio until it feels inevitable.
We partner with luxury houses, cultural institutions, and visionary founders who understand that design is not decoration — it's strategy made visible.

Brand Identity
Maison Lumière
A complete brand identity for a Parisian luxury fragrance house.
Maison Lumière approached Velour to redefine their visual identity for a new era of luxury — one rooted in heritage but expressed through a distinctly modern lens. Our work encompassed the full brand system: logotype, typography suite, color architecture, packaging design, and environmental graphics.
The result is a brand that feels both timeless and unmistakably contemporary — a quiet authority that communicates quality before a single word is read.

Design with
conviction
We're a team of twelve in New York City — strategists, designers, and makers who believe the best brands are built with restraint and intention.
Philosophy
We believe design is not decoration — it's strategy made visible. Every decision, from the weight of a typeface to the rhythm of a layout, carries meaning. We work to ensure that meaning is intentional.
Approach
Our process begins with listening. Before we design, we research, question, and define. The result is work that doesn't just look refined — it communicates with precision and purpose.
Standards
Nothing leaves the studio until it feels inevitable. This standard drives everything — from the brands we build to the partnerships we form. We work with clients who share this commitment to excellence.
Founded
Established in 2018 in New York's SoHo neighborhood. What began as a two-person consultancy has grown into a twelve-person studio working with luxury brands, cultural institutions, and visionary founders worldwide.
Process
How we
work
A rigorous four-phase methodology refined over eight years and forty-seven brand engagements.
01
Discover
Every engagement begins with deep immersion. We conduct stakeholder interviews, competitive audits, audience research, and brand archaeology — uncovering the insights that will inform every design decision. This phase typically spans 2–3 weeks and results in a comprehensive strategic brief.
02
Define
With research in hand, we distill our findings into a strategic framework: brand positioning, narrative architecture, creative principles, and a clear design direction. This becomes the foundation everything is built upon — ensuring every aesthetic choice serves a strategic purpose.
03
Design
This is where strategy becomes tangible. We explore multiple creative territories before refining the strongest direction into a comprehensive visual system. Typography, color, layout, motion — every element is crafted with precision and tested against real-world applications.
04
Deliver
We produce production-ready assets, detailed brand guidelines, and all necessary files for seamless implementation. Our delivery includes a comprehensive handoff session to ensure your team can maintain the system's integrity as it scales across every touchpoint.
