Nadour

The brief:

Nadour asked us to create an identity and a web presence for their unique collection of contemporary art from the Arab world and Iran.

Nadour is a non-commercial collection of contemporary art from the Arab world and Iran, which is regularly updated with acquisitions hand-picked by the collection’s owner and curator.
 
Our challenge was to create a brand and a website for Nadour that would allow them to easily share their collection with the world and so provide a strong online presence for artworks that might otherwise be overlooked.

The project:

We decided to use a vivid contemporary palette with designs inspired by traditional Arabic geometric decoration, creating a look for the site that is clean, fresh and lets the work speak for itself, but still has a recognisably Arabic feel.
 
The site is 100% content managed by the client and allows them to upload new work and background information every month. We also created a html email template to allow the curators to notify the audience when a new artwork is added to the collection.
 
The site is available in English, French and Arabic.

Testimonial:

'Working with 1DR was an exciting experience for us. They provided creative, intelligent solutions with passion and a sharp eye for detail. All delivered on time and on budget. Wiring their payment was one of the rare occasions when I enjoyed paying an invoice!'
