Design Challenge: When executing our brand, The researched local restaurants with ethnic styles and visited each one to gain insight. However, The team faced the challenge of how to represent the cultures of the six major ethnic groups. After all, some cultures require in-depth understanding, such as the contemporary lifestyles and religious cultures of the ethnic groups. Only then can capture the essence of each culture in our illustrations and bring out their unique flavors.
Research: A good branding design not only solves a pain point in the market but also creates an integrated identity. Starting from corporate identity to packaging design, including tableware and food presentation, each shapes the perception of the brand’s visual identity.
Inspiration: There are many restaurants that serve traditional food in Malaysia. However, the overall design theme with a symbolic representation of the culture in a restaurant is rare. In order to solve this problem, we first developed a distinctive brand name.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2022 in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. Soft Launch 1 January 2023
Operation Flow: The ingenuity behind the 2 walls is to provide an awe stricken experience to customers. As they pass through the passage, they will be amazed by the vibrant colours and illustrations on the walls.
