Where does heritage end—and modern branding begin?
I explored this question through NESCAFÉ® Nusantara, a packaging concept inspired by Toraja's coffee heritage and cultural visual language.
The iconic buffalo-head ornament became the starting point, then was simplified and reinterpreted into a bold graphic identity for the pack.
The goal wasn't to simply “add Indonesian elements.”
It was to make the culture itself part of the brand story.
Heritage, but not old-fashioned.
Premium, but still authentic.
Indonesian, but globally relevant.
Would you keep the Toraja visual language traditional, or push it further into a contemporary identity?
I'd love to hear how other designers and brand strategists would approach this.

MOVVA is now featured on Contra 🤍
I’m especially happy about this because working on this template was a creative outlet for me.
I wanted to build something useful for a business: a website that covers what a studio needs when it opens, from an easy-to-use schedule to clearly structured class information, with a solid foundation for SEO.
At the same time, I wanted it to feel beautiful. To bring a sense of movement, lightness, and the joy of taking a class into the design. To capture that friendly atmosphere that makes you want to walk into a studio and give it a try.
Thank you, Contra team!
Huge congrats on getting featured! 🤍 MOVVA looks stunning - love the mindful movement vibe and that hero image. Super useful concept for studios. Well deserved feature!
