Gucci aimed to create a seamless and engaging user interface that offered a truly immersive experience, combining the brand's iconic aesthetics with elements that celebrated Arabic heritage.
The challenge lay in striking the right balance between preserving Gucci's distinct brand identity while incorporating design elements, typography, and language nuances that were culturally relevant and appealing to the target audience.
