This project is a reflection on everyday survival, not heroic, not loud, but human.
Each screen represents a different emotional escape. Love, release, vulnerability, and coping.
Treated with unique vintage TV techniques, the visuals feel distant, imperfect, and fragmented, like memories filtered through old broadcasts.
As the rhythm of the music builds, the phrase “this is how we survive” appears slowly — not as a statement, but as a quiet realization.
Survival here is not about endurance, but about small rituals that help us stay alive inside.
WORK IN PROGRESS👇
Last month, we presented this direction for Nazariya Living. It wasn’t the route that moved forward, but it remains one of my favourite explorations from the project.
Nazariya Living is a premium carpet and home décor brand creating pieces shaped by craftsmanship, culture, and personal perspective. Each object brings character into a home and carries a story worth telling.
This direction was built around exactly that: the stories held within objects.
A seal-inspired logo gives those stories a mark. Archival textures bring a sense of history and permanence. Unexpected colour combinations move away from the familiar visual codes of the category, while editorial typography and a narrative-led pattern system give the brand a language beyond its products.
What made this direction particularly strong was its refusal to behave like a conventional rugs and home living brand. Instead of letting beautiful product imagery do all the work, we built a visual world with its own point of view, one capable of carrying the story even when the product isn’t present.
Not every strong direction gets chosen. Some are still worth sharing.
Would you bring this Nazariya into your home?
It’s always painful when the best concept doesn't get picked, but I'm so glad you shared it! The archival textures and storytelling here are just top-tier.
