Oakura Meat Co & Fine Foods

The Problem

Oakura Meat Co & Fine Foods, a boutique butchery and fine foods store, needed design elements that would reflect their premium positioning while celebrating their local Taranaki heritage. The store required visual elements that would enhance their high-end retail environment and connect with their community, bridging the gap between luxury food retail and local culture.

The Solution

We created a series of design elements including a striking banner design that celebrates the local surf culture and landmarks of Taranaki. The banner features a sophisticated typographic composition in a muted sage green colorway, listing iconic local surf spots and locations like “Rocky Lefts,” “Bell Block Reef,” and “The Point.” This design approach cleverly combines regional pride with an upmarket aesthetic, using varying font sizes and styles to create visual interest while maintaining elegance. The piece serves as both art and a conversation starter, perfect for their boutique store environment.

The Outcome

The design elements, particularly the featured banner, have helped position Oakura Meat Co & Fine Foods as a premium establishment with strong local roots. The artwork has become a talking point within the store, strengthening their connection with the community while maintaining their high-end positioning. The sophisticated design approach has contributed to the store’s atmosphere, creating an environment that feels both exclusive and welcoming to their target market.
