Akvileja
The Brief
Create an identity for the new salad bar Akvileja.
The Work
Akvileja is Pi Le and Tommy Myllymäki’s oasis on the fourth floor of the NK department store. In this lush setting, the restaurant serves hearty salads and fika that transport guests to the chefs’ favourite destinations around the world. To bring the vision to life, AWB developed an identity that embodies elegance, thoughtfulness, and a sophisticated calm.
The symbol is inspired by the name and form of Akvileja – a flower whose back resembles five birds in a circle. This is reflected in a stylized stem with a bird.
