Urban Launderette

A Cleaner, Greener Way of Living

Urban Launderette

Urban Launderette is a brand that pursues a sustainable and premium lifestyle using advanced washing equipment from German brand name products and a variety of laundry services combined with eco-friendly materials harmless to the human body and new technologies. Currently, it is operating laundromats in Cheongdam-dong and Seocho-dong and opened 'Urban Launderette The Terrace,' a complex cultural facility consisting of a café and a laundry lab in Yongin, conveying the brand's philosophy on sustainability by providing customers with a variety of distinguished, high-quality contents and spaces of Urban Launderette.

We aimed to provide a differentiated brand experience to build a premium lifestyle based on laundry culture. The design of minimal tone and manner representing the brand identity, 'KEEP CLEAN & GREEN,' expressed the brand value: to consider pure naturalism and customer convenience and to keep the promise as an eco-friendly brand through products and packages made of sustainable, eco-friendly materials.

We embodied a clean mood by reflecting the core value of the brand, to provide cleanliness by concentrating on the nature of washing through the witty iconography and white color with the design concept, ‘LAUNDERETTE WITH CARE.’ Also, we conveyed a unique and modern tone and manner with a combination of various types of sans serif typefaces for multiple services, such as the technology carefully devised for the environment and people, and visualized sustainable, eco-friendly services and care systems unique to Urban Launderette with the 'CARE LABEL' to propose a premium brand design. We applied consistent design in modern feel to the spaces representing sustainability, such as the exterior signage, interior signage, window graphic, and interior fabric poster of the 'Urban Lundret Terrace' space in Yongin. Also, eco-friendly materials, such as biodegradable vinyl products, biodegradable plastic products, Tyvek, and highly recyclable materials are applied to laundry-related goods such as detergents, fabric softeners, laundry bags, and laundry guides in the Laundry Lab on 2F and tea packages, shopping bags, fabric posters, and menu papers in the café on 1F to capture the brand's philosophy, which is to care for the environment and people. The overall application design of Urban Launderette was carefully developed in consideration of the naturalist brand value.
