Menus for Different restaurant

The project

Different wanted its menus to stand apart too. Archicercle collaborated with Lavalldesign to develop an approach combining wood and textiles, bringing that intention into an object used in the restaurant.

The development resulted in menus made from calabó plywood and hessian. The combination of these two materials defines the approach: pale wood surfaces alongside textile areas with a pronounced weave.

The pieces have a rectangular format, with openings breaking up the surface of some covers. The restaurant’s name appears in a corner, while other areas feature larger dark lettering. These elements give Different’s identity a presence without covering the entire wooden surface.

Details of the set reveal the layered pieces and the hessian between them. Archicercle’s documented contribution centres on developing these menus with Lavalldesign, with materials and composition as defining features of the result.

The hessian introduces a contrasting texture between the plywood surfaces.
