Gemma’s Cucina Italiana
Italian dining in Nairobi’s Westlands, built around a character rather than a cuisine. Gemma is a painter who found her calling in a kitchen in Livorno a coastal hometown on the South West of Tuscany.
Around it the system goes old-world an oxblood script logotype, arched frames, checkerboard borders, engraved vignettes printed one to a coaster so a table setting becomes a small collection. Four colours and no more: oxblood, cream, sky blue, sage. The sky blue only ever appears as sky. That one rule is why the illustration reads as a window rather than an image pasted onto a layout.
