The challenge

Corporate branding with
B2B functionality.

HKLIVING wanted a website that carries its brand identity and helps dealers easily find products, order them and download imagery. With an extensive collection, countless variations, a connection to Exact and a new brand identity, everything had to come together in one environment.

We combined a strong design brand with the ease of a smart B2B ordering environment.
