Camolese
Branding, Content, Digital, Identity, Strategy
Casa Camolese brings together different ways of experiencing the city at a single address. Behind a heritage-listed façade, a restaurant, craft brewery, high-end cocktail bar, delicatessen, and music program coexist. We worked with Casa Camolese from the very beginning, when there was nothing but the site. Over four years, we were involved in building the entire brand experience: from branding and visual identity to plates, glasses, uniforms, stationery, and the space’s communication. The identity combines the house’s Rio atmosphere with the imagery of vintage Italian beverage labels, vermouths, aperitifs, and classic bars, where design—like the drinks themselves—carries a whole tradition. The result is a distinctive, balanced language: a system inspired by the Italian graphic tradition but created for an essentially Rio setting.
FORMS brings culture, science, education, and activism together to co-create experiences and rehearse possible futures. Collaboration and collective intelligence generate sounds, colors, materials, and forms for an identity in continuous construction, capable of evolving in dialogue with each experience.
Cuba: Ficción y Fantasía spans more than three decades of the country’s artistic production. Across different generations and languages, the exhibition reveals how imagination, spirituality, humor, and criticism become ways of reinventing Cuban reality.
“I think you should dream the earth, because it has a heart and breathes.” The sentence that opens the book also opens the editorial project, guiding an open visual identity that breathes, welcomes, and warms. Terra Sem Males connects the Guarani myth of a life without suffering with the work of ten artists. Written by João Vergara, the book weaves together art, history, and imagination to ask how we might live better on an imperfect earth.
Ateliês do Rio enters the creative spaces of ten artists from different practices and generations. Photographs by Vicente de Mello and interviews by João Vergara reveal the studio as a living archive, a laboratory, and an extension of each work.
