NIK HOUSE
2024
Originally from Christchurch, New Zealand, I did what all Kiwis do and made the move the the UK, where I’m now based in London. I love finding creative answers to briefs, pushing boundaries and getting someone to sign off on an identity that's based on mushrooms.

Instagram NANDO’S EXTRA HOT DROPDESIGN DIRECTION
DESIGN DIRECTION: NIK HOUSE
CREATIVE DIRECTION: LOIS HINX
Turning up the temperature with heat reactive dyes, we created a capsule collection as credible and true to the brand as it is grabbable. The tees, jumpers, socks and bucket hats were crafted using thermochromic inks that change colour when things get spicy. They’re hot off the shelves too, almost completely selling out within 30 minutes of the drop.
Bringing the garms to life, each item is modeled by Gen-Z TikTok stars and comes available in colour-ways inspired by their spice levels: Extra Hot, Hot, Medium, Lemon & Herb or Plainish. Of course, everything is sustainably-sourced and made from 100% organic cotton. For eagle-eyed Nando’s fans, we included till receipt clothing labels and menu-inspired packaging.
