As you may or may not know I’m opening up a coffee roasting business with a few friends of mine in the beginning-mid of April. We are very close to being done with everything except what our packing is going to look like. We have a name and a logo and an interiors plan and team that is busy executing it now, but the biggest pain the butt has been what the bags that the beans come in is going to look like. It’s driving me nuts. You know how sometimes things just happen and an idea flows and it works instantly, well this one has been a bit if a bumpy ride and we’re not about to get off it.
So for some inspiration I went looking on what we like to call the world wide web slash box with many many pretty pictures to look at. On my adventures I stumbled across this corporate ID which belongs to a restaurant in Vilnius called Stebuklai. I think is super cool and fresh and a bit strange, which is why I think I like it.
– Lithuania really isn’t a country we see a great deal of design work from; those guys just never seem to get in touch with us. But when they do the quality of work is pretty damn impressive, as with the latest offering from award-winning design studio New. Recently they were tasked with the job of creating a complete visual identity for new haute-cuisine dining destination Stebuklai, in Vilnius. Specialising in modern Baltic food, the venue required an identity that set it on a par with the very best of Europe’s culinary cities.
The design studio wanted the identity to represent the playful and exciting nature of the modern Baltic cuisine that the restaurant will serve so settled on the name Stabuklai, which means “wonders”.
