La Chapelle, an ultimate destination for London fine dining, is in a converted (1890s) chapel in Spitalfields, London. The hand drawn logo echoes the curved flourishes and elegant details that are carved into the walls of the building.
The Galvin brothers have a long standing relationship with Paul Jaboulet Aine, one of the world's greatest wine producers, and makers of the legendary wine Hermitage La Chapelle. The link to, and offerings from, the impressive wine list are such an important part of the experience that it seemed wrong to consider anything other than "La Chapelle" for the restaurant's name. The inclusion of a cross above the 'p' graphically references the famous chapel that sits atop the Paul Jaboulet Aine vineyard in the Rhone valley - where the grapes for Hermitage La Chapelle are grown.
The brief from Galvin extended to all items of stationery, menus, posters, aprons, coasters, branded crockery, placemats, water, wine and champagne bottles, advice on signage and the creation of a clear brand hierarchy for the Galvin Restaurants group. Having worked with Galvin Restaurants since 2009 we continue to input on the graphic design needs for their restaurants.
