Embla is a new wine bar and restaurant located in Melbourne’s inner city, created by Christian McCabe, the man behind The Town Mouse. It has an interior of wood surfaces, exposed floor beams and brick walls, warm low hanging lighting and a large frameless glass front. Embla’s brand identity, designed by local graphic design studio A Friend Of Mine and based around a custom typeface, draws its inspiration from the hand painted vintage signage that proliferates the neighbourhood, and is visualised as a custom typeface. Alongside torn paper, fabric texture and stained timber, this links menus, business cards and website.

Lune Croissanterie is a Melbourne based bakery dedicated to the craft of Viennoiserie. After gaining a cult following and amassing long cues it quickly outgrew its small shop and moved into a larger warehouse space in the suburb of Fitzroy which features a distinctive interior design by Studio Esteta. To coincide with this move, Lune Croissanterie worked with the Australian graphic design studio A Friend Of Mine to develop a new brand identity. This takes the name, space theme and rocket of the previous identity and refines and expands on it with a few extra playful details. These link packaging, signage, interior and website.
