A wine and tapas bar in the heart of Cape Town. The foundation of the concept started in an old church in Bree Street turned into The Communion. A space to share wine, bread, intimate thoughts and feelings. Briefed to develop and execute an identity and visual language. The idea and thought process started from one of the oldest concepts that makes us human: sharing. An idea derived from the communion practice in churches around the world and turned into an intimate culinary experience. From this idea developed a simple yet meaningful visual language: to contrast and merge the old and the new, the classic masters and contemporary digital storytelling.
