CORNER TABLE. A fictional café visual study by Aksum Studios.
Painted texture, terracotta and deep blue. One artwork becomes a short social edit through close crops, paired details and a final full composition, set to original lo-fi music.
It's a fictional Chinese neighborhood restaurant I'm designing around the hours between today and tomorrow. Somewhere to have a proper meal, sit for a while, and maybe stay a little longer if the conversation isn't over.
I've been developing its identity around that everyday feeling, from the hand-drawn lettering and late-night atmosphere to the packaging and service objects, some of which have gotten a little out of hand.
Here are a few experiments from the project so far. Still a lot to explore.
The restaurant doesn't exist, but apparently its takeout already has places to be.
Love this! Turning a takeout box into a handbag is genius — strong brand storytelling. I do brand & packaging concepts like this too, my DMs are open for collabs. 🔥
