Parlor Real Estate – Brooklyn
Parlor Real Estate is a Bushwick, Ridgewood, and Williamsburg based real estate company owned by Eric Bailes. Eric wanted to change the agent and client dynamic and make real estate transactions more efficient and enjoyable which led him to launch Parlor in 2017.
Eric expressed his interest in a simple but chic logo that represented the duality in the meaning of the word 'parlor' itself. Parlor can mean a sitting room in a house but it can also mean a shop or business. Parlor rents both commercial and residential properties so it's the perfect fit.
When developing this logo I wanted to give Eric a mark that not only resonated with the modern renter but also a mark that felt classic and timeless. So I began thinking, what's a classic staple of every rental home or office today? The mid-century Eames side chair.
