RATIA.

RATIA is an iconic Finnish design brand known for its timeless, functional, and recognizable visual language. With decades of design heritage behind it, the brand’s digital presence needed to reflect the same clarity and confidence as its physical products. The objective was to rebuild RATIA’s online store in a way that honors its design legacy while meeting the expectations of modern ecommerce.

Challenge

The existing online store no longer conveyed RATIA’s visual identity or supported a modern, scalable ecommerce experience.

RATIA’s existing online store no longer fully supported the brand’s identity or the needs of a modern digital customer. The visual expression felt dated, product presentation lacked clarity, and the overall experience did not reflect the strength of RATIA’s design philosophy. At the same time, the platform needed to support scalability, easy content management, and ongoing development without compromising the brand’s minimalist aesthetic.

The challenge was to modernize the digital experience without losing what makes RATIA instantly recognizable. The new store needed to balance heritage with usability, and design integrity with commercial performance.
