Onomy
The philosophy of letting wellness in

Onomy is a private members’ wellness club in Buenos Aires built around a holistic understanding of wellbeing — bringing movement, recovery, beauty, nutrition, and social connection together under one roof. We partnered with the founders from the very beginning to shape the project’s positioning, name, and complete brand identity, creating an ecosystem designed to make wellness feel less prescriptive and more personal.

The challenge

To create a new kind of wellness brand — one capable of bringing different disciplines, rituals, and experiences together without feeling clinical, overly spiritual, or performance-driven.

The challenge was to position Onomy as a contemporary private members’ club where wellbeing could be understood as something broader and more personal: a balance between movement and stillness, discipline and pleasure, body and mind. A place with enough character to build a community around it, while remaining flexible enough to house an ever-evolving ecosystem of services and experiences.

We started by defining a name for this new philosophy of wellness. Onomy draws from the Greek nomos — associated with order, principles, and systems — and the suffix -onomy, found in words describing ways of understanding or organizing a particular field. As a standalone name, Onomy suggests the idea of developing one's own system: a personal understanding of what makes us feel well.

This idea of personal mastery became the foundation for the brand. Rather than presenting wellness as a fixed formula, we built an identity around different ways of experiencing it — from movement and recovery to nutrition, beauty, and social connection.

What we did

The visual system combines a refined wordmark with a more instinctive, hand-drawn symbol, creating a tension between structure and humanity. A warm, tactile palette, intimate photography, natural materials, and a direct verbal language extend this contrast throughout the experience — from digital environments and membership to signage, apparel, amenities, and Onomy Café. The result is an identity conceived not simply for a wellness space, but for an evolving culture around wellbeing: one where everyone can find their own way in.

Onomy Café

As an extension of the Onomy universe, Onomy Café brings the brand’s philosophy of wellbeing into everyday rituals. A place where nourishment, energy and pleasure coexist naturally — from a morning coffee or post-workout smoothie to a slow lunch shared with others.

We developed a distinct expression for the café while keeping it unmistakably Onomy. A lighter, more spontaneous visual language introduces warmer tones, tactile materials and playful handwritten elements, creating a more relaxed counterpart to the club’s intimate atmosphere.

More than an amenity, Onomy Café becomes the social side of wellness — a place to pause, refuel, meet and simply spend time.
