Tamarindo

What an amazingly minimal design for a restaurant located in Ourense, Spain. Designed by La Tortilleria, bottles, bags, cups and spices are dipped half way in a variety of pastel colors. The name, "T A M A R I N D O" is spaced out evenly across the edge where color meets white. In contrast, disposable coffee cups are assigned a letter of the name that is boldly printed on the surface of the cup's sleeve.

"The agency worked on the design of its visual identity, stationery materials, packaging for branded products, to go packaging, coasters, menus and tote bags. A custom made bottle of water on each table will welcome its guests in October 2014."

"This place is anything but typical, it is a refreshing alternative for local walkers used to the traditional bar or restaurant. The architect Ruben D. Gil and his wife Gretta R. Valdés decided to spice up the rainy Galician city with an unusual spot to enjoy international cuisine and drinks in an atmosphere of light wood ceilings, adobe walls, dim lighting and steel furniture."
