Studio Zetta

When Allens approached Studio Zetta, they were seeking a meaningful way to commemorate the induction of their new partners and directors—an annual tradition now in its ninth year.

Through a series of in-person consultations, we collaborated closely to bring this vision to life. The result? A custom-designed, leather-bound journal that is as functional as it is beautiful. Refillable and thoughtfully crafted with sustainable materials, each piece is subtly embossed to align with Allens’ brand guidelines, ensuring a considered and cohesive finish.

Studio Zetta had the profound honour of creating a bespoke presentation box for The Treaty Scroll—an artefact representing years of advocacy, collective hope, and a landmark moment in Australia’s ongoing journey toward truth and self-determination.

Handcrafted in our Melbourne workshop, the box was built with museum-quality materials chosen for longevity, protection, and respect for the document it carries. Inside, a precision-cut archival foam cradle was custom engineered to hold the scroll securely, ensuring it could be housed, transported, and displayed without risk of damage.

This was more than a box—it was the creation of a vessel for an important chapter in our history, made to safeguard a symbol of progress, unity, and the long-awaited promise of treaty.

Six conservation-grade Solander boxes were handcrafted with the highest level of archival care, designed to house an extraordinary collection: a series of signed lithographs, the artist’s own handprint, and a motivational script personally penned by Mandela himself. These were not just objects—they were vessels of hope, resilience, and legacy.

The design process was grounded in preservation and reverence. We carefully selected materials that would stand the test of time, and thoughtfully considered every detail from the internal construction to the understated exterior—ensuring both aesthetic beauty and conservation integrity.

These rare pieces found their way into the homes of some of the world’s most influential cultural figures, including Bono, Sting, Oprah Winfrey, and Sir Richard Branson.

Set in the cultural heart of Melbourne, the historic State Library offered a breathtaking backdrop for a wedding defined by refined elegance and quiet intimacy. Studio Zetta was entrusted with the full creative direction—curating every visual and tactile detail to reflect the couple’s story with warmth, style, and emotional resonance.

From the very first sketch, we set out to design a celebration that felt both grand and deeply personal. A bespoke stationery suite, featuring hand-lettered calligraphy and custom in-house printed pieces, set the tone—blending tradition with modern artistry. On the day, a live illustrator captured heartfelt moments in real time, gifting guests with intimate portraits as a lasting keepsake.

Crafted with the same artistry and intention we bring to every celebration, this bespoke calligraphy project was designed to elevate a couple’s wedding story with refined beauty and personal meaning. Studio Zetta was engaged to develop a custom lettering suite—one that would become the visual thread woven throughout their day.

We began by presenting five distinct calligraphy styles, each thoughtfully composed to reflect different facets of the couple’s aesthetic. From these, we refined and developed both a personalised wedding logo and a signature name treatment, creating a cohesive identity used across their stationery, signage, and keepsake pieces.

The result was a timeless mark—graceful, expressive, and unmistakably theirs—anchoring every detail with a sense of artistry and sentiment.
