Kigo Kitchen
Branding, Collateral, Signage, and Retail Design
Kigo Kitchen, a Pan-Asian American restaurant that specializes in hot, fresh and fast quick-fired bowls. The brand is bold and layered, paying homage to the vibrant street food scenes found throughout many Asian countries.
Creature (a Seattle based creative agency) partnered with Graham Baba (a Seattle based architecture firm) on the Kigo Kitchen project. Graham Baba was responsible for the build out and design of the restaurant space, while Creature was tasked with creating the branding, identity and in-store experience.
The variety of materials, textures, array of layered signage, and large number of deliverables on this project required some interesting production solves to deliver a cohesive brand experience to the customer.
