When I was offered a job at Dolce, I honestly almost didn’t accept it. The website was in bad shape, there wasn’t even a sign on the door, and I really couldn’t find anything else about the company. As I was on my way out the door from the interview, Perry—the owner—showed me something that changed my perspective entirely.
He placed a small box of old promotional pieces for Dolce on the desk. They had to be at least 50-60 years old. Very swiss-style typography. Clean, modernist, beautifully executed, all designed by his late father, Charles. This is where I found out that under the company’s humble exterior, there lies a legacy, firmly rooted in a broader vision, yet still a style all its own. From there on, I made it my goal to bring that legacy back to light.
