- Role
- Identity and music direction
- Deliverables
- Identity, menu architecture, commissioned music programme, interior theme
- Duration
- 2022 to 2024
- Outcome
- A neighbourhood café remembered as a listening room
A neighbourhood café can be another logo on another glass door, or it can be a room you remember. This one wanted to be remembered.
We built it as a small listening room. The identity, the way the menu is ordered, and a commissioned music programme pulled from the jazz-era city Dhaka once was. The playlist was commissioned and scheduled like the menu.
The direction ran all the way round: theme, interior support, the menu and its cakes, events, the digital voice. Three locations now.
Open late, on purpose.
