The Approach
We immersed ourselves in Evelyn’s glamorous world, drawing inspiration from her art collecting, flair for entertaining, and impeccable style. We crafted a visual identity that feels like finding your grandmother’s fabulous photo album—if your grandmother happened to drive vintage cars while draped in pearls.
The Expression
Sunshine yellows and coral pinks pop against creamy neutrals, while Evelyn’s portraits are framed by playful collaging and artistic flourishes. Her elegant script signature takes center stage in a hexagonal spotlight, accompanied by vintage photographs and cherished mementos from a remarkably stylish era.
The System
From artfully layered menus to matchboxes worthy of collecting, every element balances sophistication with a wink. Handwritten notes peek from corners of postcards, artistic doodles dance around photographs from her storied life, inviting guests into Evelyn’s world—where hospitality is both an art and a pleasure.
