Amado

“Amado” by Hyatt is a Mexican artisan bakery and candy boutique specialized in typical regional products characterized by their flavors, colors, and textures. Hyatt reached out to us to develop a branding identity for the new boutique opening in its hotel lobby. The naming was inspired by the pursuit of grand Mexican creative minds that could identify themselves with the brand’s essence and its products. Amado by Hyatt strives to bring together both the romantic and classic spirits of Amado Nervo’s poetry and the modernist style of Mexican architect Luis Barragán.

Our branding proposal takes the two iconic Mexican minds and their fellow characteristics to create a visual solution that takes the fine art of traditional artisan bakery to a new contrasting level of modernism that guarantees the brand to stand out among others. The intention was to avoid falling into typical Mexican clichés. Instead, it creates a sophisticated idea in which the graphic sense translates the visual language from the XVIII century into a contemporary innovative solution that is based on a vivid color palette and novel printing finishes.

XXIII Ars Cameralis Festival 2014

Identity of the 23rd edition of Ars Cameralis was referring to intimacy and frankness of artistic encounters that take place during festival. The main motif was inspired by 3 sculptures by Auguste Rodin: „The Kiss”, „Amor and Psyche” and „Eternal Spring”. Soft woman bodies in slightly erotic poses and delicate colors created organic and sensual composition that was transferred into different media such as poster, brochure, postcards.

Transarquitetônica

Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira recently completed work on his largest installation to date at Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade in São Paulo. Oliveira uses the repurposed wood pieces as a skin nailed to an organic framework that looks intentionally like a large root system. Because the space provided by the museum was so immense, the artist expanded the installation into a fully immersive environment where viewers are welcome to enter the artwork and explore the cavernous interior.
