about the concept

XYZ reimagines book-reading events through seamless, sensory experiences that bring together storytelling and wine. The brand identity, visual language and interface were designed as a cohesive concept to create an intimate and memorable digital experience. The name “XYZ” nods to the final letters of the alphabet evoking a literary signature, the unknown, and the x-factor behind each meaningful gathering.
