Menus and napkin holders for La Tasketa

The project

La Tasketa wanted a consistent identity across the objects that form part of the restaurant experience. At Archicercle, we designed a collection of menus and napkin holders that brings its logos to everyday objects through a combination of formats, joints and finishes.

The menus explore both vertical and horizontal layouts and opening directions. Plywood covers are combined with leather spines, while different internal formats organise the menu sections. Riveted connections form part of their construction.

Personalisation goes beyond placing the restaurant’s name on a surface. The collection incorporates laser-engraved, die-cut or raised logos: different ways of integrating La Tasketa’s identity into the objects, rather than applying a single solution throughout.

The napkin holder translates the same design language into a tabletop object. Its open-box form, visible joints between components and restaurant branding on its faces connect it to the menus, while retaining a configuration suited to holding napkins.

The collection was assembled by hand, stained and spray-varnished. The finished pieces bring menus and tabletop accessories together through a shared approach to materials and personalisation, with formats and construction varying according to each object’s use.

Leather spines and rivets form part of the menu construction, while different internal formats distinguish the menu sections.

Laser engraving, die-cutting and raised detailing are the three documented approaches to personalisation across the collection.
