Corazón De Tinto is a Wine Bar in the heart of Colonia Juárez, one of the hottest zones in Mexico City. When the client approached us to design both the identity and the bar itself, we set to do a benchmark to identify a possible overlooked niche within the market that could make the place and branding stand out and attract potential customers.
As we observed, most wine bars in Mexico chose a quintessential aesthetic, aiming for a “grandeur” look and feel. For this reason, we decided to inspire the design in the relaxed, rustic feel that you get when visiting a countryside winery.
For this, we set ourselves to the task of designing a bar using simple, untreated materials as wood and plants, playing with the lighting to create textures that gave the space a slick countryside feel.
For the visual identity, we created a hand drawn typeface and icon that feels rough yet classy.
