Tea (served hot or cold) is the most widely consumed beverage on the earth aside from water.
Recently Indigo has had the pleasure of contributing to the continued success of tea by developing a site for The Tea Set, providing,”…a family of organic, fair trade teas collected from around the world and branded in New York…”
The Tea Set offers unparalleled quality, aroma, flavor and sophistication while maintaining a high standard for organic, fair trade and kosher certified teas.
Their teas are handpicked to create one of-a-kind blends that can only be found through The Tea Set.
Driven by quality and excellence, Jacques Doassans has set out to open The Tea Set’s first Tea & Champagne Room in Manhattan’s West Village bringing the enchanting aromas and flavors of The Tea Set that much closer to home.
Set to open in September 2010, The Tea Set – New York will be prominently positioned in one in the most exclusive areas on New York City, which many celebrities call home.
Indigo was sure to present The Tea Set’s e-commerce site with just as much care as their teas are packaged, prepared and presented.
Indigo provided The Tea Set with an all inclusive site and e-commerce functionality using the Big Commerce.
Thanks to our recent location Indigo is now exaposed to some of New York City’s top photographers on a daily basis.
The Tea Set had the pleasure of working with the young and talented photographer Evan Miller who has provided the images for the signature colorful tin containers and packaging for displayed throughout the site.
Provided with clean eye-catching photography Indigo was able to create a turn key site with e-commerce functionality reflecting The Tea Set branding model of clean, simple and organic using the Big Commerce.
We are happy to provide the online presence of New York City’s latest answer to tea and contribute to the worldwide beverage phenomenon!

While this isn’t a tribute to Mr. Phil Collins, it definitely inspired us to pay a little homage to the man. But what inspired us even more was the photography of our good friend and client Jean Baptiste Degez. Degez, a photographer out of Paris, took these amazing shots in the forest of Fontainebleau (France). With the focus on a cat-like street gymnast donning a full suit and performing parkour, the result is something unexpected yet visually stunning.

Serving over 400 wines from around the world, Vertical wine bar is a true destination in Old Town Pasadena. With its traditional small plate bistro menu to compliment your each and every wine choice this destination required a site that would express its quaint, elegant nature, with a California modernity and flare.
The small plates menu at Vertical Wine Bistro were created by Chef Sara Levine and are presented alongside wine selections by Sommelier Scott Teruya. Indigo and Vertical Wine Bar had a similar vision for a site in that it would be kept clean, balanced and unpretentious. Balance was an emphasis in this project due to the nature of this wine bar in which food and wine are balanced not only in amount, but in flavor and presentation. This notion of balance is well recognized througout the interior design of the bar as well.
Indigo achieved a balance within the website without compromising image presentation or clarity of information by organizing the site as a diptych wherein one panel uses flash animation to cleanly display the various attributes of the restaurant while clearly listing pertinent information about the establishment on the opposite panel. The result is a website that in the simplicity of its layout, fully expresses the design characteristics and culinary goals which Vertical Wine Bar values as an identity.
