Hospitality Identity & Printed Applications
“Zorbas” – Greek Tavern
The visual identity of Zorbas – Greek Tavern is built around a contemporary reading of a timeless Greek archetype. Inspired by the figure of Zorbas, the concept embraces spontaneity, movement, and the unapologetic joy of everyday Greek life.
The logotype and menu design form a coherent printed system, drawing references from classic cinema, Greek typography, and the maritime character of Milos. Clarity, rhythm, and restraint guide the design choices, allowing the identity to feel familiar without becoming nostalgic.
Rather than staging “Greekness” as a theme, the project treats it as a lived condition — expressed through food, place, and human presence.
