Acorn House Identity

Inventory Studios of London which is a fairly new design firm founded in 2008. One of their projects I really enjoyed was their identity for the restaurant Acorn House restaurant. As a collective piece, the design is fairly subtle but highlighted with good concepts and printing embellishments.


Instead of a book of matches, they have booklets of seeds with card planters. I love that they look like the little planter stakes.


"The hand-made menu covers were embossed with the skeleton of a tree and foil-blocked with a variety of patterns of silver leaves. They were also coated with waxed muslin, creating a wipe-clean, fibrous surface."

Happy Easter from Bayeux, France

Well, after 15 hours of traveling, we finally made it to our first destination. We are spending our first night in Bayeux which is 15 minutes from Normandy. Fortunately for us, there is free wi-fi for some updates! We strolled down the street from our hotel and there were plenty of old buildings and the cutest French houses and cafes in the downtown area.

We didn't eat here, but I liked the color of this pizzeria.

We actually ate across the street at Le Pommier where I dined on duck, cider and an incredible trilogy of creme brulee. Now you know anything that includes the word "trilogy" in it is bound for greatness. It included a regular creme brulee, a mocha creme brulee and a raspberry creme brulee. HEAVEN! Not too richy or creamy, very light and not too sweet. It was parfait!

More to come! disclaimer: 99.99999% of these France photos will be food-related :)
