You: – Bullshit! Its just marketing and im sure their facebook page is just spam spam spam
YOU ARE WRONG!
Ace Hotel is fucking great (we didnt get any money to write this… but that would be kind-of-very-nice LOL), amazing interior design, great concept and honest & authentic social branding! Just check their great blog, did you see any “corporate” post about the Pussy Riot Incident? They wrote about it, that and much more!
We are really HAPPY to see truly authentic branding and such social involvement, so cool!!
El dialogo va más o menos así…
Nosotros: - Hay un hotel que honestamente se califica como MODERNO BOHEMIO, estan bastante involucrados socialmente y además tienen un blog de PM
Tú:- Yunamierda! Es solo marketing y seguro que su facebook page es basura y más basura
YOU ARE WRONG!
Ace Hotel es cojonudamente genial (y eso que no nos pagaron nada… pero estaría bien LOL), fantástico diseño de interiores, gran concepto y un social branding honesto y autentico! Solo mirate su blog, habías visto algún post “corporativo” sobre el incidente de Pussy Riot? Pues ellos lo escribieron, eso y mucho más!
Estamos realmente contentos de ver marcas autenticas y con involucración social, so cool!!

Matto Bar & Pizzeria in Shanghai is a great example of masterfully crafted interior design with delicious attention to detail, the project was done by Pure Creative International in HK. We like both interior design and restaurant branding, with special mention to their simple but superior website design and great press resources! As for the food, we haven’t had the opportunity, but “Delicious!” was the word when we asked our friend, CityWeekend Shanghai‘s editor, Geoff Ng.
Matto Bar & Pizzeria en Shanghai es un gran ejemplo de magnifico diseño de interiores con exquisita atención al detalle, el proyecto fue realizado por Pure Creative International en HK. Nos gustan mucho tanto interiorismo como branding del restaurante, con especial mención a su simple pero hermoso y efectiva pàgina web, atención a la sección de prensa. Por lo que respecta a la comida, aún no hemos tenido la oportunidad de ir, pero “Delicious!” fue lo que nos dijo cuando le preguntamos a nuestro amigo Geoff Ng, editor de CityWeekend Shanghai.

Interesting trend going on with the cargo or shipping containers being used in Food & Beverage (also in Hospitality) as interior / exterior design elements, we like it and understand that it that can very interesting cost effective wise; but it really looks much better when is a used with a little bit of context:
Pop-up food truck + container = cool.
Italian restaurant + container = not so cool.
Starbucks Tukwila, Seattle. Wahaca Street Food Southank, London. Lobster Box MOVBOX, Montreal. Los Soprano Italian Restaurant Gavà, Barcelona. Del Popolo Wood Fired Pizza, SF.
Interesante moda con los containers de mercancías siendo utilizados como elementos de decoración y estructurales para hostelería. nos gusta y entendemos que su uso puede ser muy interesante con lo que respecta al coste; pero realmente su uso causa una mucha mejor impresion cuando esta un poco contextualizado.
Puesto de comida ambulante + container = guay.
Restaurante italiano + container = no tan guay.

Bonito proyecto de interiorismo para restaurante de los arquitectos italianos Archiplan para Ristorante LaCucina en Mantova, Italia. Nos gusta mucho la idea de utilizar un estilo minimalista para un restaurante italiano, además el blanco y la madera combinan perfectamente. Pero, y decimos esto con “mucho amor”, se echa de menos un mejor diseño gráfico y branding, en especial en la página web del restaurante.
Beautiful restaurant interior design project by Italian architects Archiplan for Ristorante LaCucina en Mantova, Italy. We really like the idea of using a minimalist style for an Italian restaurant, also the dominant white color and wood make a great combination. But, and we say that with a “lot of love”, we miss a better graphic design and branding work, specially in the restaurant website.
義大利室內設計師 Archiplan為 Ristorante LaCucina義大利餐廳所設計的極簡風格,他完美的結合使用極白色和木質材料,讓此義大利餐廳有別於它的乾淨舒適感.

Gracias a nuestro hermano evasée descrubrimos este fantástico proyecto de branding para restaurante de This is Pacifica en Portugal, para el restuarante La Bohéme en Porto. Un fantastico overall proyecto con interiorismo by AVA Architects.
Thanks to our bro evasée we discover this great restaurant branding project by This is Pacifica from Portugal for La Bohéme restaurant in Porto. Fantastic overall restaurant concept, interior design by AVA Architects.
In This is Pacifica own words:
“ The new La Bohème presents a cozy gathering and sharing environment Entre Amis, offering an extensive wine list, delicious tapas and music.At the busy street of Galerias de Paris, La Bohème is the best place downtown to have a drink, have some tapas and listen to good music. It is the ideal place to meet friends at the end of the workday, taste a good wine or nibble tapas after hours.At La Bohème you can expect a nice music selection that suits a light lunch, a quiet afternoon or an evening meeting.It is also a nice warm up place that anticipates a long night of fun at Porto.
La Bohème is a place with strong personality. Its identity is inspired by french Art Deco visual which suggested a manually constructed and embodied unique language. All graphic and composition mood was illustrated and hand-drawn specifically for the new brand. “

Espectacular diseño de interiores de Joyce Wang para el restaurante AMMO en Hong Kong. Elementos fundamentales del diseño, el cobre y un aire industrial a todo el conjunto, así como los candelabros en forma de escalera para denotar atención y romper los 6 de altura del espacio. El equipo responsable de AMMO son el famoso chef local y restaurador Tony Cheng y su mentor, Chef Roland Schuller de The Drawing Room.
Joyce Wang did an spectacular restaurant interior design work for AMMO in Hong Kong.
The team behind AMMO is local celebrity chef and restaurateur Tony Cheng, together with his mentor, Chef Roland Schuller from The Drawing Room, some words by restaurateurs:
“In a setting unmatched anywhere in Hong Kong, AMMO draws inspiration from the historical, architectural and cultural significance of its location. A former explosives magazine compound created by the British army in the mid-19th century, the site underwent a conversion by renowned New York-based architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien and is now the Asia Society Hong Kong Center. AMMO, a slang term for ammunition, is also an acronym for Asia, Modern, Museum and Original, effectively communicating the overall culinary and dining experience. The phrase acknowledges the café’s Asian roots and identity, its thoroughly modern continental cuisine, its unquestionably unique position within a heritage landmark museum, and its original concept.”

Tag Collective de NYC fueron los encargados de renovar la identidad y crear un nuevo diseño de interiories para Brooklyn Taco Co., usando sus propias palabras, hicieron un magnifico trabajo comunicando la “autenticidad moderna” de la marca.
Tag Collective from NYC was asked to renew identity and create new interior design for Brooklyn Taco Co., using their own words, they did a great job communicating the brand’s “of modern authenticity”.
“ After successfully growing their business through NYC street markets like Hester St. Fair, Brooklyn Taco owners, Jesse and Erica, decided it was time for their brand to grow. We were tasked to not only create a new graphic identity, but also build out their first permanent taqueria in Essex St. Market.
The identity started with a wordmark that speaks to their craft and references hand painted signage seen throughout Brooklyn, this is paired with a Mexican inspired color palette and patterns. From the groundwork created by the graphic identity, the space took shape incorporating a strong graphic pattern, color palette and typography provided by the brand toolkit.
Brooklyn Tacos identity and space now seamlessly connect and tell a story of modern authenticity.”

Gran proyecto de identidad de marca por Helms Workshop de Texas, para Top Hops Beer Shop en NY, muy buena tipografia, authentic feeling y un look general muy redondo. We love beer and we love Top Hops!
Great brand identity project by Helms Workshop from Texas, for Top Hops Beer Shop in NY, really good typography, authentic feeling and very cohesive overall look. We love beer and we love Top Hops! In Helms Workshop own own words:
“Top Hops is a culture-center for craft beer in Manhattan. It’s the kind of place where seasoned beer geeks can share their enthusiasm and new craft beer fans can learn a bit more about the magic combination of hops, yeast, barley and water. They’re not just a retail store— Ted and Christina have built a celebration of beer, and the good people who brew it. They foster appreciation for the craft, history and taste of great beer— they’re not just merchants, but advocates as well.
Workshop teamed with Ted and Christina early in the development of the business plan, and collaborated with architects, environmental designers and sign fabricators to create a unique and bold expression of their passion for beer. More images of signage and environment coming soon.”

Riffle NW en el Pearl District de Portland, es un fantástico proyecto de Restaurant Branding de Hovercraft. Nos encanta la selección de colores y la idea de la ranura en la mesa para esconder el drink menu. Bravo!
Riffle NW in Portland’s Pearl District is a great restaurant branding project by Hovercraft. We are in love with their color plate selection and table “hole” idea to drop the drink menu. Bravo!
In Hovercraft own words:
“A restaurant located in Portland’s Pearl District, Riffle NW is led by accomplished executive chef Ken Norris and Jennifer Q. Norris. The menu is built upon all things sustainable, ocean and river (see: catch inspired). Our role was to develop a complete brand experience that supported the notion of finer dining in a more personable and laid back environment. Anchored around a series of illustration’s, the identity system spreads across all collateral, from matchbooks & menus to kitchen staff uniforms. We also delivered an in-depth & highly responsive HTML5 driven website and mobile experience.
Riffle was happy enough with our work to name a delicious pepper vodka concoction the Hovercraft, which is probably our biggest accomplishment to date”
