The Webby Awards — often called the internet's highest honor — have recognised Onyx with four nominations across Best Visual Design, Best User Experience, Best Brand Experience, and Best Practices.
The nominations span work for three clients: Versace's digital flagship, Saint Laurent's editorial platform, and Tom Ford Beauty's sensory commerce experience. Each project represents a different facet of our practice, but they share a common thread: an uncompromising commitment to craft.
What makes these nominations meaningful is not the number — it is the categories. Visual design, user experience, and brand experience are not separate disciplines in our studio. They are inseparable. A beautiful interface that frustrates the user is not beautiful. A seamless experience that dilutes the brand is not seamless.
The Webby's recognition of our work across these categories validates an approach we have held since the studio's founding: craft is not a layer you apply. It is the structure you build on.
Winners will be announced in May. Regardless of outcome, the nominations represent the standard our clients expect and the standard we hold ourselves to.
