The brief

What the project needed to solve.

The restaurant needed a family of signs that would guide visitors from the street into the venue while fitting its architecture and interiors. Guest-facing signs and operational information had to belong to the same system.

01 / 03Selected work

An arrival that belongs to the venue

Zest planned the sign locations and hierarchy across the approach, entrance and internal destinations. Exterior identity signs helped connect the restaurant to its street setting without treating every location as the same design problem.

One family, different functions

Copper-toned finishes, glass and contrasting coloured frames informed a coordinated sign family. Room identification, amenities and staff-area signs were developed alongside the main restaurant identity, with technical details prepared for production.

Carried through into the finished setting

Production and installation translated the design system into exterior and interior signs. Day and night views show how the entrance identity works with the building and its lighting.
