Spanish jewellery designer Chus Burés is recognised for the avant garde quality of his work and his ongoing collaborations with a wide variety artists and designers.

Spanjorskan is a Spanish restaurant located at Nybrogatan 42, Stockholm. It features a distinctive interior of warm and traditional detailing, a mix of wood, tiling and comfortable upholstery, and modern elements of exposed utilities, solid blocks of colour and feature lighting. Spanjorskan also has a distinctive menu with a sense of the theatrical and celebratory to it in colour, presentation and serving, one that is made up of large shared dishes presented with a favour for the bold and dramatic. This sense of interior character and food theatre also runs throughout the restaurant’s graphic identity, designed by Swedish studio Lobby Design. This links signage and website, and runs across menus, matchboxes and coasters.
