Vicki Young, Nalla
TweetNalla is a young creative agency based in Hoxton.
They are the designers behind The Riding House Café bar tab cards along with some of our showcase examples. We caught up with Nalla’s director Vicki Young to chat about Nalla’s ethos and what inspired the beginnings of Nalla Design.
What is Nalla all about?
Our ethos is "We make you look good" and that is true in everything we do. We concentrate on great design that lets our clients shine and stand out from the crowd.
What was your inspiration for the Riding House Cafe identity?
The client came to us with the name which was influenced from the restaurants location on the corner of Riding House Lane. We wanted to avoid the cliché horse imagery concept and instead focussed on different things you can ride. The identity features various items you can ride on from roller skates to hot air balloons. The logo was made from getting a large rubber stamp made up and then generating a logo from that, so the texture is a true representation of the process. The identity was carefully constructed to reflect and complement the utilitarian and NYC chic vibe that the interiors provided.
You also designed our showcase cards, how did you get the ideas for those?
We were flattered when you asked us to design a set for you. The brief was open which was great. Designers are trained to answer a brief and it tends to throw us into a panic when there is not a brief to answer or problem to solve. I actually loved it, to have creative freedom is like a dream come true, but I guess that’s the artist in me!
So you believe that play is an important part of the design process?
Absolutely, exploring and playing is a solution to unique creativity. I think its important to research and check out what’s going on in the world on a daily basis but without time to explore ideas you’d end up just copying or replicating.
