2018 - 2021

Founded by artist Ester Kislin in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood in 2018, Sounds is an ever-evolving design studio and e-commerce space offering patrons a welcoming atmosphere to mingle with thoughtfully produced and meticulously curated goods for life, work, and home.

Our multi-year partnership with Sounds started when the brand enlisted Abbr. Projects to supply them with a story, identity, and ecommerce website, culminating in 2021 with Sounds forging ahead as a fully digital business supported by pop ups.

The Sounds Energy Portal was the brand's first ever lookbook — concepted, designed, and written by Abbr. Projects

Among other projects, our partnership yielded packaging for an extensive suite of in-house products, a set of custom in-store display furniture, a series of photo shoots, and an artful lookbook featuring our words and designs.
