Belo Horizonte, Brazil





Brand and visual identity redesign for Capim Santo, an eco-friendly pousada and restaurant situated in the charming historical center of Trancoso, a former fishing village in Brazil's coastal state of Bahia. Opened as a macrobiotic cafe in 1981, it became renowned for revisiting traditional Bahian seafood dishes. Over the years, Capim Santo has expanded, with restaurant units in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, a Social Institute, and a Gastronomy School. The new visual system brings a cohesive language throughout all business fronts reinforcing fundamental themes to the brand's universe, such as hospitality, sustainability, tradition, and respect for the local culture.
