Coffee by day, wine by night

Designed by leading architects in Bucharest, Sip is a coffee shop and wine bar that set out to reshape the life of a central neighbourhood in the city.

It needed a brand up to the challenge, and a powerful launch on social media to bring in its first guests.

Two halves, one circle

Two semicircles inspired by the architectural arches of the space: the top for the coffee shop, the bottom for the wine bar. Together they form a complete circle, and a day and a night colour scheme keeps the two spaces distinct.
