Torrefacto is a Russian coffee roasting business founded in 2011 in response to what they describe as the difficulty of sourcing freshly roasted coffee beans in Moscow, and the time and trouble associated with importing it. Torrefacto prides itself on batch production and hand roasting processes, good consumer relations – which sees its owners personally answering letters and addressing website comments – and a combined roasting and delivery service that reduces the time between roasting, which takes place each Saturday, and receipt.
Created by design studio Fork, Torrefacto’s new brand identity, which included logotype, packaging and stationery, reflects some of the convenience of door-to-door service, individual consumer-focused values and the craft associated with selecting and roasting coffee beans, through typography, structural design, paper choice, colour and finish, in a way that introduces character to, and increases the perceived value of, what has become an everyday experience.

Casa Virginia is a restaurant and culinary project in Mexico City, created by chef Mónica Patiño, that mixes the highest quality cuisine and meticulous processes with the familiarity of eating at home. This fusion of restaurant quality and easiness is perhaps most acutely manifested throughout its interior design, a space that juxtaposes the modesty and simplicity of wooden and basketweaved furniture alongside the ornate cornice and sculpted detail of the walls.
Savvy were recently commissioned to create a brand identity for the restaurant, which included logo, stationery, menu and sign design, that would resonate well with Habitación 116’s distinctive interior, be informed by Mónica Patiñ’s philosophy and honours her processes. This was achieved through the contemporary reinterpretation of what Savvy describes as the traditional graphic language popular in Mexico during the 1920s and an attention to detail.

Bedow worked with Essem Design, a Swedish manufacturer of ‘artisanal hallway interiors’ to develop a new brand identity treatment. This included logotype, advert, catalogue, product sheet and stationery design based around “Hej—Hej då”, hello and goodbye in Swedish, a reference, Bedow explain, to the most common phrase used in the hallway.
