“We are a studio of foodies, so designing restaurants is extremely satisfying. Creating a physical space that you can actually visit and show family and friends. It’s also a great calling card; we get lots of referrals for other work in the hospitality sector from people who like a restaurant we’ve designed. Researching the casual dining scene and eating out...
POST — London, UK
“One of the lessons we have learned when working with restaurants is to make any guidelines and templates as robust as possible. Design tools should be able to be used by any member of staff with little to no amount of training. Keeping things simple enables and empowers them to create assets themselves, and if this is easy to do...

Latente Studio — Diego Leyva — Mexico City, Mexico
“To design for a restaurant, we have to understand what’s beneath the brand. The core and soul of the project come first. Our process is quite profound.

After understanding...
Perky Bros — Nashville, Tennessee, USA
How do you find designing for a restaurant different to other identity projects? “Not much differs in terms of our design process, but one notable difference about a restaurant identity system is having the opportunity to create so many customer brand impressions within a very short window of time. But, just because they’re there doesn’t mean you always should. It’s...
Florian Gallou — Nantes, France
How do you find designing for a restaurant different to other identity projects? “There are many restraints that you do not find in all visual-identity projects.

Studio NUR — Eszter Laki — Budapest, Hungary
“We enjoy creating designs for restaurants and bars because the branding appears on various materials. It is always a close relationship with the owner and the interior designer. Our favourite projects are when we imagine the atmosphere, the story and all the details together with them. We have to think about the type of gastronomy, the target group and the...
Caserne — Montréal, Canada
How do you find designing for a restaurant different to other identity projects? “Our approach is similar to that for other visual-identity projects.

We...

How do you find designing for a restaurant different to other identity projects? “It is slightly different from other identity projects, mainly because we can have a bit more fun with it.
