Yvonne Costello and Ori Hellerstein are a husband and wife team making artisanal chocolate truffles using high quality ingredients and the processes acquired by Ori working as a pastry chef at well-respected restaurants. These skills were then refined whilst running his business The Artisan Bakery creating and supplying fine patisserie and chocolates to trade. Costello + Hellerstein’s philosophy is built around the complete sensory experience, one that goes beyond taste to include aroma, touch and visual appeal. This extends to their brand identity and packaging treatment, designed by Leeds based Robot Food, which went on to help them secure a spot at London department store Harrods.

Once recognised as having the greatest wine cellar in the world and understood to have introduced French gourmet food to London, Café Royal, located on Regent Street, has been described as being the place for the avante garde to meet and dine for over a century. This year, to coincide with its reopening and reposition as a luxury five-star hotel and private members club, Pentagram, led by partner John Rushworth, was commissioned to develop a new brand identity that would reflect Café Royal’s history and its recent renovation by architect David Chipperfield. This went on to include packaging, menu design, stationery, bags and brochure.
David Chipperfield’s renovation, a testament to his modernist rigour and sensitive reinterpretation of historical material, ornamental features and colour, informed John Rushworth’s approach. The dual notion and disparate attitude of grandeur and history and a more recent architectural minimalism, is neatly resolved as five illustrations by contemporary graphic artist Kam Tang inspired by engravings and exterior architectural elements of Regent Street, and the Regency palette of Café Royal’s interior.
