The build
A study in art-directed restraint. An earlier dark, WebGL-choreographed version was deliberately torn down and rebuilt around real editorial photography because no procedural render cleared the photoreal bar. Warm ivory grounds, near-black type, nacre-rose and antique-gold reserved strictly as accents. Hero → collections carousel → spotlight → craftsmanship split → heritage timeline → FAQ → atelier CTA.
The standout
Knowing when to remove the 3D. Kept to a 159 kB first-load budget — Lenis is dynamically imported post-hydration — and reduced-motion safe throughout.
The outcome
The restraint piece — rebuilt from a dark WebGL draft into real photography, held to a 159 kB first load and reduced-motion safe throughout.
