Designing Ravive:
From a circular concept
to a live D2C brand

RAVIVE

Transforming 1960s vintage glassware into refillable candles. As solo founder, I built the ecosystem from scratch — from brand identity and circular service design to an optimized cross-platform experience driving conversion.

Driven by a passion for 1960s design, Ravive gives a second life to unique, curated vintage glassware. The goal was to launch a premium brand from scratch, establishing a strong, credible digital presence designed for both online customers and physical retail partners.

The challenge: to build a seamless digital experience that balances direct online sales (D2C) with B2B retail discovery — with zero marketing budget.

Dynamic Brand System

Creating a flexible visual identity that adapts to digital formats while anchoring the brand in 1960s organic design.

The Unique Piece System

Since every vintage piece is unique, I turned a stock constraint into the main feature. Under the concept "Find Your Light", the shop moves away from mass shopping to offer a tailored experience: users don't just buy a candle, they find the object that fits them.

E-Commerce Experience

To launch the brand quickly, I customized an existing no-code infrastructure (Squarespace). The challenge was to bypass template limitations to create a premium, fluid shopping experience — resulting in a 100% sold-out inventory during the Christmas drop.

Behind-the-Scenes & Organic Growth

Building a community through authentic storytelling to drive engagement and conversion.

The Strategy

Creating organic content that balances brand identity with product presentation.

Mother's Day Campaign

I managed the creative direction and production of an exclusive photoshoot for Mother's Day. From staging to lighting, the goal was to create a cohesive series of minimalist visual assets to support the collection drop.

Retail Touchpoints

To expand the brand's physical footprint, Ravive launched limited drops in curated Paris concept stores and boutiques. This offline presence allowed users to interact with the tactile nature of the objects, creating a seamless bridge back to the online store.
