06/15 — 2025 by abduzeedo Explore Palantis' sleek branding and visual identity for MP2E Solutions, showcasing thoughtful design and industry-specific color palettes. In the dynamic world of industrial design, a brand's visual identity must clearly communicate its expertise and innovation. Palantis, a branding, design, and strategy studio based in Nantes, recently tackled this challenge for MP2E Solutions. The result is a sleek, adaptable, and cohesive visual system that truly reflects the company's position and know-how. MP2E Solutions specializes in distributing Hauschild planetary mixers and equipment, acting as the exclusive distributor of these highly technical machines for nearly a decade. These Speed Mixer™ machines are renowned for their versatility, capable of mixing, pulverizing, and degassing, serving vital functions across the pharmaceutical, food, medical, and electronics sectors. To usher in a new era, MP2E Solutions commissioned Palantis to refresh its entire visual identity. The Hyphen: A Symbol of Solutions Palantis built the core of the new visual system around the hyphen in "MP2E-Solutions". This seemingly small detail carries significant weight, symbolizing the connection between "MP2E"—an acronym for Mélangeur Planétaire Emmanuelle Etiemble—and "Solutions," representing the company's comprehensive range of services, products, and client support. This thoughtful integration of the hyphen into the graphic language creates a strong and recognizable visual identity. The brand’s new visual identity extends beyond just the logo. Palantis developed a flexible system through the interplay of symbols and a carefully chosen color palette. Each color was intentionally selected to evoke the specific industries MP2E Solutions serves, strengthening the brand's presence within its diverse ecosystem. For example, a vibrant green might represent the pharmaceutical industry, while a deep blue could signify the electronics sector. This allows for endless variations while maintaining clear brand identification and visual consistency. A Cohesive Visual Language An integral part of this branding and visual identity overhaul included the development of a dedicated iconographic system. This system helps structure and clarify information across various communication channels, ensuring that MP2E Solutions' message is always clear and organized. From digital platforms to printed materials, the new design elements work in harmony. Palantis' work on MP2E Solutions is a testament to the power of meaningful design and transformative solutions. They believe in crafting tomorrow's story today, and this project exemplifies that philosophy. The refreshed branding not only accurately reflects MP2E Solutions' expertise but also sets them apart as a forward-thinking industrial leader. The meticulous attention to detail, from the symbolic hyphen to the industry-evoking color schemes, showcases Palantis' deep understanding of branding and visual identity. Their approach ensures that MP2E Solutions is well-positioned for its new era, with a visual language that speaks volumes about its commitment to building the future by mixing materials.

Why Sage Green Is Having Its Moment As someone who’s been watching color trends for years, I can tell you that sage green’s popularity isn’t just a passing fad. This color speaks to our collective desire for calm in an increasingly chaotic world. It’s the visual equivalent of taking a deep breath – immediately soothing and centering. The rise of biophilic design has also played a huge role in sage green’s dominance. As we spend more time indoors, we’re craving those connections to nature, and sage green delivers that botanical feeling without being overly literal. It’s nature-inspired design at its most sophisticated. What makes sage green particularly special is its incredible adaptability. Unlike brighter greens that can feel overwhelming or dated, sage green has this chameleon-like quality that allows it to work in virtually any context. Pair it with warm woods and it feels rustic; combine it with metallics and it becomes luxurious; add some crisp whites and suddenly it’s Scandinavian minimalism. Mastering Sage Green in Your Design Work The key to working with sage green successfully is understanding its undertones. Some sage greens lean more yellow, others more blue or gray. Recognizing these subtle differences will help you create more cohesive palettes and avoid color clashes that can make your work feel off. I always recommend testing your sage green palettes in different lighting conditions. What looks perfect on your computer screen might feel completely different in natural light or under warm artificial lighting. This is especially crucial for interior design projects or any work that will be viewed in physical spaces. When building palettes around sage green, I like to think about the mood I’m trying to create. For calm, peaceful vibes, I’ll pair it with other muted tones and plenty of white space. For something more energetic, I might add unexpected pops of coral or sunny yellow. The beauty of sage green is that it’s such a diplomatic color – it plays well with almost everything. Sage Green Across Different Design Applications Branding and Logo Design In branding work, sage green communicates reliability, growth, and environmental consciousness without hitting people over the head with it. I love using it for wellness companies, sustainable brands, and professional services that want to feel approachable. The key is pairing it with typography that reinforces your brand personality – clean sans serifs for modern feels, or elegant serifs for more traditional approaches. Interior Spaces Sage green walls have become incredibly popular, and for good reason. The color creates an instant sense of calm while still feeling current. I particularly love using darker sage greens in dining rooms or bedrooms where you want that cozy, enveloping feeling. Lighter sages work beautifully in kitchens and bathrooms where you want freshness without the sterility of pure white. Digital Design For websites and apps, sage green offers a refreshing alternative to the blues and grays that dominate digital design. It’s easy on the eyes, which makes it perfect for apps focused on wellness, meditation, or any platform where users will spend extended time. Just be mindful of accessibility – always test your sage green backgrounds with various text colors to ensure proper contrast ratios. Product Design The natural, organic feeling of sage green makes it perfect for product packaging, especially in the beauty, food, and wellness sectors. It communicates quality and naturalness without feeling overly earthy or crunchy. I’ve seen it work beautifully on everything from skincare packaging to high-end kitchen appliances. The Psychology Behind Sage Green’s Appeal Color psychology tells us that green represents growth, harmony, and balance – all things we desperately need in our modern lives. But sage green takes these positive associations and adds sophistication. It’s green without the intensity, nature without the rawness. There’s also something inherently honest about sage green. It doesn’t try too hard or demand attention the way brighter colors do. This authenticity resonates with consumers who are increasingly skeptical of brands that feel forced or overly polished. Sage green whispers where other colors shout, and sometimes that’s exactly what your message needs. Looking Forward: Sage Green’s Staying Power While I can’t predict the future, I’m confident that sage green will remain relevant for years to come. It hits all the right notes for contemporary design – it’s calming without being boring, natural without being literal, and sophisticated without being pretentious. The color also photographs beautifully, which matters more than ever in our Instagram-driven world. Whether it’s a sage green accent wall or a product shot featuring sage packaging, this color translates perfectly to social media, helping brands create that coveted “aesthetic” that drives engagement. As we continue to prioritize wellness and sustainability in design, sage green offers the perfect visual shorthand for these values. It’s a color that makes people feel good, and in a world that often doesn’t, that’s incredibly powerful. Bringing It All Together These eight sage green palettes represent just the beginning of what’s possible with this incredible color. Whether you’re drawn to the monochromatic serenity of Garden Fresh or the unexpected sophistication of Industrial Zen, there’s a sage green palette that can elevate your next project. The secret to success with sage green is trusting its natural elegance. Don’t feel like you need to overstyling or complicate things – sage green’s beauty lies in its understated sophistication. Let it be the calm, confident foundation that allows other elements of your design to shine. So go ahead and embrace the sage green revolution. Your designs (and your stress levels) will thank you for it. After all, in a world full of visual noise, sometimes the most powerful statement you can make is a quiet one.

The Botanical Cabin by Plume is a refreshing testament to the enduring appeal of minimal living. Designed and crafted in France, this tiny house is more than a fleeting trend or a clever response to spatial constraints. It is a study in how thoughtful design can elevate even the most compact of footprints into something both beautiful and deeply functional. Built on a trailer, the Botanical Cabin measures just under twenty feet in length, yet every inch is meticulously utilized, creating a home that feels open, airy, and full of light. As you move inside, you are immediately struck by the cabin’s abundant natural illumination. Large windows frame the greenery outside, inviting the outdoors in and making the interior feel much larger than its modest measurements suggest. The layout flows effortlessly from one space to the next, with clever woodwork offering moments of privacy without sacrificing openness. There is a gentle rhythm to the way spaces are defined, making the entire experience feel both cozy and uncluttered. Designer: Plume The kitchen, though compact, is a masterclass in efficiency. A built-in breakfast bar serves as both a dining area and a generous workspace for meal prep. The use of wood throughout the kitchen and living areas unifies the aesthetic but also brings a warmth that is often missing from modern, small-scale structures. Each detail, from the mini fridge to the compact stove, is chosen for practicality without compromising the visual serenity of the space. Every element in the Botanical Cabin seems to have a purpose that goes beyond mere utility. The ethereal, soft decor imparts a whimsical quality, turning this portable dwelling into a sanctuary for romantic getaways or peaceful solo retreats. It is easy to imagine settling into its intimate nooks with a book or gazing out at the landscape in quiet contemplation. The cabin’s atmosphere is one of gentle luxury, where comfort is derived from simplicity rather than abundance. Plume’s approach to design, evident in the Botanical Cabin, is rooted in a deep respect for both craftsmanship and environment. The use of natural materials and a restrained palette is pleasing to the eye and also fosters a sense of harmony with the surroundings. This is a home that invites reflection, not just on the space itself but on the kind of life one wishes to lead within its walls. It encourages a slower, more intentional way of living, where each object and every moment is appreciated. For those of us who find inspiration in architecture and interiors, the Botanical Cabin is a reminder of how powerful minimal design can be. It proves that a small home does not have to feel temporary or incomplete. Instead, it can be a place of real belonging, where design and daily life are intertwined with grace. The Botanical Cabin stands as a quiet ode to the beauty of less, and in its simplicity, it offers endless possibilities for living well.
