Elbow Room

Name: Elbow Room
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Graphic Design: mgmt. design
Interior: Greg Yang Design

I love it when the graphic design, identity, and interior all come together to form a cohesive space and presentation. The Elbow Room restaurants are a great example of this cohesive and thought through design. 

Clarks Oyster Bar

Name: Clark's Oyster Bar
Location: Austin, TX
Design: McGuire Moorman

Bright, preppy, and nautical are all thoughts that come to mind when stepping inside Clark's Oyster Bar in Austin, Texas. Being the little brother to Perla's, both spaces are clearly connected but both maintain their own identity and personality. 

Top Hops

Name: Top Hops
Location: NYC, NY
Design: Helm Workshop- Identity

Top Hops is a craft beer goldmine in the heart of NYC. With great identity and branding, along with a functional and well laid out interior, the concept is cohesive and fun.

Mexout

Name: Mexout
Location: Singapore
Graphic Design: Bravo Company

Mexout goes against the grain to create an urban interior paired perfectly with a purposefully imperfect branding scheme. 

Loveland Ale Works

Our Work; The Salsa Truck

Local Chicagoans and food truck fanatics alike have probably already heard the great news. Chicago has officially given out its very first mobile food preparers license which allows chicago food trucks to now cook on-board. This historic moment for the restaurant and dining scene was added to by the fact that we had the pleasure of working with owner, Dan Salls on the first first food truck to ever cook on board, The Salsa Truck.

Kaper Design was responsible for the branding, logo, truck design, packaging, and all other printed goods. Here are a few images of our work;

Three Boars Eatery

Name: Three Boars Eatery
Location: Edmonton, AB, Canada

I love the simplicity behind Three Boars Eatery, located in Edmonton, Canada. From the wood-clad walls to the industrial stools and exposed pendants, the space feels warm, welcoming, and approachable.

Pan Pan Atelier

Name: Pan Pan Atelier
Location: Valencia, Spain

Pan Pan Atelier was designed based around a 'modern interpretation of the traditional ear of wheat'. Everything from the colors to the herringbone texture & pattern all directly tie back to that original idea. I enjoy that Pan Pan took this concept and idea and translated it not only into their branding and identity but into their cafe space as well. 

Catalina Fernández

Name: Catalina Fernández
Location: San Pedro, Mexico

There is something so compelling about a simple, well though out concept. Branding and design truly go hand-in-hand and Catalina Fernandez Pastry boutique is a great example of this.

'wich

Name: 'wich
Location: Hong Kong
Design: Ken Lo(branding/packaging)

There is something beautifully simple when a restaurant concept comes together perfectly. When branding, logo, packaging, and interior all evoke the same message, it allows the guest a full experience.

Midwest's Best; Parish Food & Goods

Name: Parish Food & Goods
Location: Atlanta, GA
Design:  B.B.Barn (branding/logo), Concentrics Hospitality

Located in Atlanta, Parish represents Southern culture and incorporates a deli, restaurant, and market all into one. With great branding, a clean logo, and a wonderful layering of southern antiques amid restored brick, this space manages to feel welcoming and warm.

Cafe Luc

Name: Cafe Luc
Location: London
Branding & Graphic design: Here Design

Today comes to you with another great example of brand identity for restaurants.

 The most common element I witness clients and restauranteurs miss, is brand identity. In order to be successful you must set your space up as a unique experience. Your space must be recognizable and your message needs to be carried through throughout the diners experience. With social media growing faster every day, most customers dining experiences actually start well before they arrive at your space. Establishing your identity and message through graphic design, web design, and social media presence cannot be brushed off. Cafe Luc did a great job of translating the dining experience you will have within the space, to their identity, branding, and logo. All aspects communicate a chic, comfortable, upscale and classic vibe, take a look;

Super Whatnot

Name: Super Whatnot
Location: Brisbane
Architect: Marc&Co


Located in an old industrial building, Super Whatnot is a great example of quality branding, graphic design, and interior design. All crucial components that must work seamlessly together in order to create a visually successful space. With light wood, exposed brick, metal bar finishes, and exposed metal beams, the interior gives in to an urban/ industrial vibe while the penny tile, bar stools, wood stools and banquettes all add an element of vintage to the mix. The branding and graphic design finishes out the mix and pulls the entire urban/vintage/ industrial vibe together.

The combination of wood, intricate metal work, and exposed brick is wonderful. Perfectly industrial but just polished enough to feel finished and not gritty.
