About Chez Vous Primær funktion: Brandidentitet
Chez Vous er en visuel identitet skabt til en belgisk restaurant i São Paulo, Brasilien. Identiteten genfortolker belgiske ikoner, såsom Magritte, Manneken Pis, regn og traditionelle pommes frites, gennem en enkel illustrationsstil. Korte tekster inkluderer variationer af belgisk dialekt, hvilket tilføjer humor til de grafiske kompositioner. Identiteten anvendes på menuer, plakater, paneler, emballage og t-shirts, hvilket giver restauranten visuel enhed. Menuer og plakater trykkes i offset med CMYK-farver, mens t-shirtsene trykkes digitalt.

- Production Technology
- Most of the graphic materials were produced in offset in CMYK-scale colors. The posters, with a theme of pop art, in contrast received classic frames. The t-shirts were produced in digital printing. Offset packaging is suitable for delivery.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to construct a visual identity that translated the essence of Belgian culture. And, above all, offer the customer Chez Vous an authentic experience of Belgian cuisine and culture. The definition of the graphic style of the illustrations was instrumental in translating simplicity and synthesis. The textual component was also fundamental to achieve the effect of authenticity, especially bringing dialectal variations to the graphic compositions.
- Research
- The Laika method is based on the synergy between linguistic and pictorial skills. Every project begins with the construction of meaning, an affirmation, and the need to design small graphic narratives. Thus, the visual identity project expands upon the detailed and strategic work of building an imaginary universe that represents the culture of the Chez Vous brand.
- Inspiration
- Chez Vous is the only Belgian restaurant in Sao Paulo. And its original culture was the starting point for the construction of the new visual identity, using the icons, tradition and sense of humor of the country to create a reinterpretation of icons, symbols and narratives, making a visual identity for Chez Vous.
- Project Duration
- The project started in June 2019 and finished in January 2020 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
- Operation Flow
- The visual identity project contributes to affirming the Belgian cultural essence of the restaurant Chez Vous, emphatically occupying the status of reference of Belgian gastronomy in the city of Sao Paulo. In addition, it allows the client to feel welcomed by the casualness and informality of the visual language and its narratives.
