Wooden ring-bound menus for Mar Blava

The project

Mar Blava Gastro Lounge, on the beachfront in Benicarló, refreshed its identity with Cocinar Emociones. As part of that renewal, Cocinar Emociones commissioned Archicercle to design and manufacture the restaurant’s new menus.

The starting point was the sea, a reference found in both Mar Blava’s name and its logo. Archicercle translated this into wooden menus with a simple composition, placing the venue’s name and symbol on the front cover. A wavy outer edge carries the same marine reference into the shape of the piece.

The ring binding addresses a specific need: making it easy to change the menus each day. The project combines the design of the covers with a binding system that opens to allow the inner sheets to be replaced.

The covers have two colour treatments: light blue and a wood-like brown. Both retain Mar Blava’s identity and the ring-bound format. Archicercle’s contribution covered the design and manufacture of the menus as part of the identity refresh undertaken with Cocinar Emociones.
