PIU Brand · PIU Archive · Corpus Production

Three businesses.
One connected world.

New footwear, a curated archive, and a manufacturing practice. Each has its own audience and purpose; material knowledge connects all three.

The current pictureThis is a design and research handoff. The source folder contains references, architecture and companion notes. A working production service has not been verified. [8]
01

Three distinct front doors.

The original site plan gives each business a complete, independent visitor experience. The domains below are recommendations in that plan; ownership and deployment were not checked.

Create / Consumer

PIU

New luxury footwear, including made-to-order pieces. The focus is the product, its material story and the studio that makes it.

Shared founder and material expertise; two consumer experiences and one business service. These are the roles described by the source plan. [1]

02

How the businesses connect.

The public links explain the relationship in context. Behind the scenes, the proposed model shares selected services while keeping the B2B enquiry journey separate.

Footer and About introduce vintage, deadstock and Nadia’s curatorial practice.

Brand → Corpus

Footer and About explain the manufacturing consultancy and factory network behind PIU.

Archive → Brand

Banner or footer introduces new PIU footwear; the plan proposes one consumer login across both.

Archive → Corpus

Stylist Services directs production enquiries to Corpus; sourcing stories provide another contextual link.

Corpus → Brand

Projects features PIU as the founder’s own manufacturing case study.

Corpus → Archive

About uses the Archive to demonstrate material and cultural knowledge.

Navigation principle: a visitor can complete their task within one site. Cross-links offer useful context without requiring a tour of all three. [1]

03

What moves through the system.

The architecture describes data and intended workflows. It does not establish deployed authentication, checkout, payments or database constraints.

Consumer commerce

PIU products carry materials and images. Orders track fulfilment. Archive listings carry resale details, categories and wishlists; shared payments name both consumer sites.

PIU order states / source enum

Pending → Confirmed → In production → Shipped → Delivered

Manufacturing work

Corpus enquiries can convert into projects. Factories, artisans, shipments and permit records support the production knowledge behind those projects.

Corpus enquiry states / source enum

New → Responded → Converted or Closed

25 designed tables across four logical areas [2]
AreaTables / responsibility
Brand · 7Products, materials, images, orders, collections, journal posts, studio enquiries.
Archive · 7Listings, listing details, categories, stylist requests, collections, press, wishlists.
Corpus · 7Projects, factories, enquiries, journal posts, artisan contacts, permits, shipments.
Shared · 4Users, addresses, payments, newsletter subscribers.

The important data links: factories underpin product provenance; consumer identity connects orders and wishlists; material references point toward permit paperwork; subscribers record where they came from. These are relationship concepts in the diagram. The permit reference is a text field, and newsletter attribution is not a foreign key. [2]

04

A family resemblance, with separate voices.

Use the original design documents as the evidence base. The brief adopts PIU’s monochrome discipline while making the typography and spacing readable on a phone.

PIU / reconstructed layout reference
PIU

Stark. Minimal. Architectural.

#000000#FFFFFF#555555#B0261C

Black ink, white ground and grey metadata. The red square belongs only to the loader in the reference; it is not a general brand accent. Photography is specified in greyscale.

Neutral sans-serif, wide-tracked uppercase display and mono labels. One-pixel black rules, square buttons, no shadows. Hover inverts black and white.

Source spacing: 120px desktop gutters, 26px product gaps, 30/70/90/100px vertical rhythm. POS / RSM / RSMI fonts are requested but absent; this brief uses system fallbacks. [3]

Archive / annotated wireframes
The Archive

A catalogue and typewriter voice: Courier-style mono, an Archivo masthead, hairline organisation and product-led grids. The source shows warm paper, dark ink and white cards.

Wireframe values: #F2F1EF / #121212 / #6E6E6E. Grid expands from two to three to four columns. These document a direction, not finished art. [4]

Corpus / open editorial direction
Corpus

Oversized Bodoni-style editorial type with restrained sans-serif and mono support. Projects, people and making should supply the substance.

The original spec explicitly leaves colour and copy uncommitted. Purple marks an unresolved backing graphic, not an approved brand colour. The serif here is a system-font specimen. [5]

Recommended shared foundation: common spacing, navigation behaviour, accessibility and component mechanics, with separate typography and art direction for each business. Generated companion palette and typography notes contain guesses; they should not overrule these original references.

05

How the documents fit together.

The folder has two layers: original material in WEB_DEVELOPMENT_, and the generated WEB_DEVELOPMENT_VAULT companion that explains and cross-references it.

Reading order

Master catalogue → Original reference → Companion explanation → Relationship index → Build decision

  • 15Print PDFs

    Artwork and image variants, numbered 101–115; visual material for interpretation.

  • 06Design-canvas HTML references

    PIU, Archive, Corpus and backend layouts; the principal visual handoff.

  • 02Architecture HTML documents

    The site/link map and database design; the structural starting point.

  • 05Layout ZIP bundles

    Packaged reference decks, exported views and extracted files; derivatives of the same work.

  • 02Font-order ZIPs

    Nostra and HealthGoth evaluation material and licence records; not a confirmed final font system.

  • 03Image assets

    A type experiment, Corpus logo image and PIU web frame graphic.

  • +3Inspection helpers

    PDF, colour and thumbnail scripts, additional to the 33 catalogue assets.

The raw folder contains 36 files. The companion’s 88 claimed edges connect documents, layouts and notes; they do not prove 88 runtime integrations. The five layout bundles expand into 79 indexed files, not separate projects. [6] [7] [12]

06

Where Obsidian belongs.

The Nadia companion already provides project-specific reading context. Galaxy Core is the wider durable knowledge home; a verified Nadia registration was not located there.

Existing / source & companion

Nadia folder → project notes

Original designs and architecture are catalogued by the local WEB_DEVELOPMENT_VAULT companion. This brief draws from both, with original sources taking precedence. [6] [8]

Proposed / knowledge link

Project entry → Galaxy Core

Add a Nadia / PIU entry note that points to the existing folders and this brief. Keep heavy source files in place. No registration, move or new vault was performed for this brief. [9] [10]

Existing / wider context

Galaxy Core → constellations

Glossosphere supplies language and navigation across the vault. SOLARIS and xyz / TecPac are separate sibling projects; no Nadia product or runtime dependency on them was found. [9]

Glossosphere integration is unverified. The companion claims a browser-game connection, while the canonical game record reports its historical source unavailable. A locally served folder does not establish that a game consumes its notes. Keep the vault hub, historical game and separate semantic application distinct. [8] [11]

Evidence scope and provenance

Reviewed on 7 September 2026 using two Astra agents at medium reasoning: one for Nadia’s source corpus and one for Galaxy relationships. Searches across 8,033 visible Galaxy Markdown paths found no relevant Nadia, PIU or Corpus Production entry. An unrelated Graphify name match was rejected.

The working source is the OneDrive Desktop/Nadia copy. Another Desktop copy has matching raw assets but a different compiled companion. PDF descriptions use existing extraction notes, not a fresh visual review of every print. Live domains, authentication, payments and the game bridge were not tested.

07

What needs deciding before a build.

The references are sufficient to describe the vision. These decisions turn that vision into an implementable brief.

  1. Complete the consumer transaction model.

    Specify Archive orders and fulfilment; the shared payment model names Archive but no Archive order table is shown. [2]

  2. Define the shared-service boundaries.

    Choose how Brand and Archive authentication, accounts and payments work; establish ownership of production and permit data. Do not assume cross-site login or database constraints already exist. [1] [2]

  3. Confirm the visual and content assets.

    Resolve final font assets and usage rights, photography, Corpus copy and the global graphic’s motion. Keep reconstructed and inferred choices visible until confirmed. [3] [5]

  4. Confirm the public destinations and knowledge entry.

    Set domains, the Instagram split, analytics and publishing ownership. A Galaxy entry can then link the approved brief to its original evidence. [1] [10]
