DESIGN-A-SIGN
We designed a custom, two-sided, sticks-out-into-the-street, hovers-above-the-sidewalk, retro-futuristic sign for the wonderful .
This one was a super joyful collaboration with who not only fabricated it beautifully, but took the time to make the design idea actually physically possible!
It went from Luca’s workshop, to our studio, where it was painted by hand using the same old timey paints and colors as the windows and specials boards lettering.
This handmade, old-timey detailing in the work for Onette makes even more sense when you’re in the space; when those textures are paired up with vernacular (characterful) typography choices, the goal is that you get transported, just a little bit, to a time that’s outside of your day-to-day grind: you can relax, order a BEC + side of gherkin + slice of pie + espresso tonic, and forget about everything for a little bit.
