Rafael Mayu is ready for their next project!
Día de campo / Nubes is a catalog of two projects by artist Iosu Aramburu. Aramburu's work navigates references to the history of modern painting in Latin America — in both image and technique. The work opened up a series of formal experiments in layout and color (photographs with minimal margins or full bleed, contrasting tones in background and text), creating a system that is rigorous yet coherent with the artistic body.

Mandao is a new dim sum concept in Lima that breaks from traditional Chinese food stereotypes and draws on the relationship between street food, skate culture, and nineties animation. For the branding, references were taken from zine-making, the world of skating, and Asian alphabets. The challenge was making them coexist — using the chaos of amateur layout and collage in just the right measure.
Illustrations are at the heart of Mandao's identity. Drawing from cartoons and nineties animation — particularly independent manga and Nickelodeon shows — they condense the irreverence and humor that define the brand. The illustrations were developed by Jorge Eduardo Maita in collaboration with Conjunto Studio.
