La Taverna Del Suculent is a traditional kitchen and table-less bar in the Spanish city of Barcelona. It serves homemade dishes and is described as the “next door restaurant”, a place for those looking to avoid cotton napkins and pretentious waiters, and are happy to settle for vermuth, la caña and cheese.

Los Italianos is a traditional Italian food producer and retailer with three locations across Barcelona but with its roots in the Piemonte region of Italy and a significant history that dates back to 1939. Los Italianos recently commissioned Spanish design studio Huaman to develop a new brand identity that would better position them within the gourmet category, introduce an elegance and modernity whilst retaining a sense of heritage. This was achieved through the simple leveraging of familiar, high quality and traditional design cues of a script, shield and foil, and fusing these with the contemporary distinction of bold geometric shapes informed by the diversity of Italian pastas. These were applied to business cards, packaging and signage.
