Rendez-vous

Brand Identity, Packaging Design, Illustrations

Brand identity design and custom illustrations for a new coffee shop at Rotterdam.

A three-panel sign outside a coffee shop, each panel featuring a simple cartoon drawing of a different coffee cup with faces, arms, and legs, in black and white on colored backgrounds.
Three paper gift bags with different designs, one red with white text, one white with red illustrations, and one brown with red outlines and text, set against a plain background.
Outdoor sign for a store called Rendez Vous with a cartoon character of a dessert with whipped cream and a cherry, and a fishing pole, mounted on a red wall under a wooden pergola.
Person holding five colorful stacked boxes with coffee and food-themed designs, against a light wood-paneled wall.
A black-and-white illustrated poster on a white wall inside a shopping area, promoting coffee rendezvous. The poster features drawings of a to-go coffee cup, a cup with whipped cream and a straw, and a pair of sunglasses. Text on the poster says "rendez vous," "got a rendez-vous? bring your date in for a coffee date," and "got a date?" Two black arrows point to the right and up, indicating directions. Green leaves from a nearby tree partially cover the poster.
Illustration of four animated coffee cups and a bowl with a swirl, all with face expressions and accessories, on an orange background.

“Each illustration was thoughtfully sketched and refined to embody the warm, personal touch of the shop. From the playful character of a coffee cup to the whimsical portrayal of a coffee bean, our artwork invites customers into a narrative that is as rich and inviting as the coffee served. The restrained color palette and uncluttered layouts ensure that the illustrations take center stage, fostering an environment where simplicity reigns.

We aimed to design a brand identity that reflects the coffee shop's commitment to handcrafted quality and the intimate joy of coffee. Our approach was to strip away the complexities of modern design, focusing on the bare essentials to create a serene and inviting atmosphere.”
