Bar.Yard

A rollout of an existing logo to a full-on branded rooftop bar, we have added touches of patterns and colors to Bar.Yard, the urban oasis located on the 40th floor of Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok.

Our ultimate goal is to blow livelihood into this vibrant atmosphere where colors, music and tropical food blend in with the stunning architecture and interior work of Hassell Studio.

Ms.Jigger

Ms.Jigger tells the tales of a Thai wanderer’s loop around Eurasia. Back from her travels, she brought back recipes for intriguing cocktails (intriguing as in parmesan cocktail…) and homely dishes.

Given the logo and a shade of color, we created the map, postcard and travel notebook-inspired menus and collaterals. We’ve also given Ms.Jigger the voice of an independent, strong and sophisticated woman, carefully dodging clichés.

Stock.Room

A bustling dine-in Grocerant, Stock.Room brings it all together. Part casual eatery, part high-energy grocery store, part vibrant culinary classroom, part pop-up, part chef’s table with semi-private dining, and part social gathering place, Stock.Room has something for everyone. The branding roll-out was made from an existing logo and colour palette.
