[ 01 ] Context

Mercado de San Telmo

Mercado de San Telmo is one of Buenos Aires' most emblematic historic markets, with over 130 years of history in the neighbourhood. Two new gastronomic concepts inside the space needed their own identities that would dialogue with the historic context without being folkloric, and work for both local and tourist audiences.

[ 02 ] The work

Two brands, one direction

Cafetería del Mercado and La Choripanería share space and spirit but have distinct propositions. The work was to develop identities that were coherent with each other — part of the same visual family — but with their own personality. The creative direction drew from Buenos Aires vernacular design — tiles, almacén typography, conventillo colours — and reinterpreted them with contemporary criteria.
