La Bonne Table

An identity drawn by hand, like a sketch on the corner of a tablecloth.

The idea

Recipes with a story.

La Bonne Table loves recipes that have a story, good produce and, above all, the pleasure of getting together around a beautiful table.

The identity had to feel the same way: warm, generous and a little imperfect. Everything is drawn by hand in red pastel, like a sketch made at the table while the bread is still warm.

Every course, every pour, every detail. Everything with purpose.

Identity

On the napkins, the plates and the team: the same hand everywhere.

A card that moves.

A short stop-motion loop for social media: the card on its paper, frame by frame.

A table is never just a table.
