BRAND STORY The origin of Eichholtz

The entrepreneurial spirit of our founder Theo Eichholtz, inspired by his extensive travels throughout the world, created a company offering the finest quality design with a dedicated service excellence. This remains at the heart of Eichholtz. A company that began as an import business has evolved into an internationally renowned brand with a presence in over 100 countries, perfectly balancing a European sensibility and esthetics with a luxurious, global perspective. It’s the presentation of collections, coupled with our expertise, authenticity, and attention to service that we provide that differentiates us in the luxury furniture market, enabling us to engage, inspire, surprise, and grow our audience. Eichholtz, to us, is a complete luxury lifestyle. It represents integrity, imagination, elegance, and the creation of considered environments in which enrich our lives.

BRAND MANIFESTO Why we exist

At the heart of what we do at Eichholtz, our aim is to inspire and engage our discerning industry audience of retailers, interior designer and architects and hospitality specialists. We do this by creating luxury curated environments that then enable our visionary partners to present unique and timeless collections to their customers. Design-wise, a desire to engage with the past but explore contemporary living that feels at once elegant and familiar, yet surprising and dynamic is very much at our core. Central to that are the relationships we have nurtured over many years with our large network of supply chain collaborators. With that comes integrity and trust, essential to how we operate; therefore, service is paramount. Eichholtz means attention to detail, reliability, and efficiency. It means a sophisticated and luxurious way of life.

THE EICHHOLTZ ARCHETYPE The “Forward Thinker”

At Eichholtz we feel the confidence to blaze and trail, take innovation, creativity, productivity, and our sense of purpose that enables us to craft our own archetype. The "Forward Thinker" embodies both the forward motion and ambition of the "Explorer" while also tapping into the entrepreneurial spirit of the "Creator". The "Forward Thinker" looks for inspiration and innovation in everything, especially where it is least expected. The "Forward Thinker" is motivated by gathering knowledge and having the gumption to try new things. Strategically this newly combined archetype affords us an opportunity to clearly define our own path and deliver our distinct message.

To reach a true understanding and a deeper connection with the Eichholtz customer is it essential to learn more about who they are and how they operate. It is for us to ask what we can do for them, how we can best service their needs, inspire them, broaden their horizons, and improve their delivery. Our core customers include those interior design professionals, retailers, and hospitality specialists.

AUDIENCE PROFILES Profile #01 “I spend half my life travelling and seeking inspiration for my clients — the whole world is my mood board, and inspiration can come from anywhere. I’m always looking for partners who can filter the world for me, and showcase the very best of what’s out there. It enables me to offer the best in class to my clients. I’m a big believer in eclecticism, but it doesn’t happen by accident. It takes a special skill to create a diverse and dynamic space with balance and calming energy. Corporate clients don’t just want my eye, they’re just as concerned with my ability to deliver. In this industry, a missed deadline is unthinkable, so I need to collaborate with businesses that value my reputation as much as their own. As an interior designer, I see my role as going far beyond the visual. I’m creating tangible experiences, so any materials I choose need to be more than just objects of beauty. They need to feel like they belong, and help to tell the visual story I’m composing. More than anything, I try to remember that high-end clients don’t look for luxury - they expect it in their product as well as the services.”

AUDIENCE PROFILES Profile #02 “We founded our luxury furniture and decoration boutique in 2011, to offer people access to a more stylish, surprising and inspired range than they’d find in the standard stores. I love that we’ve created a space that allows people to envisage the life they want, but it’s up to me to be able to get them the things they need. This kind of luxury comes at a price, but I’ve always believed that value is far more important than cost. We select our products for their aesthetic value and moreover the quality of service as reliability is standard in our services. Designing your home is such an intensely personal thing, and the options can be overwhelming. So the last thing anyone wants, once they’ve found something they really love, is the frustration of endless waiting times, or unfulfilled orders. That’s why we love working with Eichholtz as their services are unmatched.”

I’m responsible maintaining our unique position in our local market, so the spaces we create for our guests have to be completely in tune with the experience we’re building. We have a strong design partner with an impeccable aesthetic, but it’s up to me to balance their creative vision with the practicalities of budget management, logistics and time-scales. All of this means that, while it’s easy to find your head turned by some breathtaking objet d’art, I try to keep a pragmatic sense of what’s going to be comfortable, durable and practical. With that said, in this market, we need to offer a guest experience that will surprise and delight, so a little touch of the unexpected can make all the difference between a regular hotel stay and an unforgettable visit.”

THE EICHHOLTZ LOGO The original The iconic Eichholtz logo ensures that the Eichholtz brand stands out against global competitors. For this reason, the logotype must never be redrawn or altered in any way. The logo is confident, simple and above all, effective. No other elements should therefore be used in direct contact with this logo as this will only serve to weaken the strength of the message.

TYPOGRAPHY Primary fonts Silk Serif is a graceful and recognizable typeface. A refreshingly simple design that offers a crafted elegant finish. It is modern in its transitional style, but with a hint of the classic. When a serif type is needed, for instance in editorial design use for magazines, Silk Serif can be used frequently but always in a sophisticated, yet playful way. It can be used for creative headings, streamers or body copy, but should always be treated as an accent to complement the primary typeface Sofia Pro.

PHOTOGRAPHY Bringing spaces to life In-use or atmospheric photography is a perfect tool to bring products to life and to create spark of inspiration for the customer. Our in-use photography has a distinguished and recognisable style: the overall image gives a clear view of the room, each setup is fully decorated (including fresh flowers and plants), all items and decor are sharp and crisp, everything is well lit and the colours are neutral - always resembling the closest match to the actual colour of the product. USAGE RIGHTS PHOTOGRAPHY WITH MODEL The use of campaign photography with models is limited in time. Do you have questions about the use of our images?
