Editorial brochure designed to introduce GORA Coffee to retailers and distribution partners. Combining bold typography, documentary photography, and the brand’s origin story, the brochure presents GORA as a modern coffee brand that challenges convention while remaining deeply connected to the people and places behind every bean.

Project Overview

Following the development of GORA Coffee’s packaging, the next step was to create a brochure that would introduce the young brand to retailers and store managers.

The objective was to communicate more than product specifications. The brochure needed to express the personality of the brand, highlight its Ethiopian origins, and position GORA as a confident newcomer with a distinctive point of view.

Inspiration & Concept

The concept was built around contrast.

Coffee is often presented through tradition and heritage. This brochure introduces those same values through a contemporary visual language that feels energetic, bold, and unexpected.

Large-scale typography becomes a storytelling device rather than simply a graphic element. Words such as “Coffee Disruptor” and “Impact @ Origin” work together with documentary photography to connect the product with the people, landscapes, and production process behind it.

Instead of separating information from emotion, the brochure allows typography, imagery, and storytelling to reinforce one another throughout the publication.

Design Solution

The brochure combines editorial composition with expressive typography to create a publication that immediately captures attention while remaining clear and informative.

A restrained layout gives oversized typographic statements room to breathe, while carefully curated photography documents every stage of the coffee’s journey—from cultivation and harvesting to processing and packaging. This balance between bold graphic design and authentic storytelling creates a publication that feels contemporary, trustworthy, and memorable.

The final design transforms a sales brochure into a brand experience, helping GORA communicate its values with clarity and confidence.

Packaging design for GORA Coffee, a Danish brand committed to transforming the coffee value chain by roasting and packaging coffee in Ethiopia before export. The visual identity combines bold typography with custom illustration to communicate both exceptional coffee quality and the brand’s commitment to creating lasting impact at origin.

Project Overview

GORA Coffee is built on a simple but powerful idea: more of coffee’s value should remain in the country where it is grown.

Rather than exporting only raw beans, the brand works with Ethiopian farmers and local roasting partners to ensure that roasting, packaging, employment, and economic value stay closer to the source. The challenge was to create packaging that reflected both the premium quality of the coffee and the purpose behind the brand.

Inspiration & Concept

The concept was inspired by the close relationship between coffee and its place of origin.

Instead of relying on traditional coffee imagery, the design introduces a vibrant bird perched among coffee cherries—a symbol of Ethiopia’s natural landscape and the living ecosystem from which the coffee comes. Together with bold, contemporary typography, the illustration creates an identity that feels optimistic, authentic, and unmistakably connected to origin.

The result is packaging that tells a story of quality and responsibility in equal measure, inviting consumers to see coffee not simply as a product, but as part of a more balanced value chain.

Design Solution

A clean white package provides space for the illustrated bird and coffee branch to become the defining visual element of the identity. Bold typography creates strong shelf recognition, while the restrained layout allows the story behind the brand to remain at the forefront.

The visual system balances premium presentation with warmth and accessibility, demonstrating that sustainability and craftsmanship can coexist without relying on predictable design conventions. The final packaging reflects GORA’s mission to connect exceptional coffee with meaningful social impact, creating a brand identity that is both memorable and purposeful.
