Restaurant Zilte is a place of wonder and experience. Viki Geunes’ two-star restaurant recently reopened on the other side of the MAS in Antwerp. The move was accompanied by a completely new vibe: a different interior and panorama, a new name – ‘t Zilte became Zilte – and, of course, printed matter that perfectly matches the setting and atmosphere.
Three-star service must be evident in every aspect, including the printed matter. The recipe for this comes from our printing experts and Philip Hendrickx of the agency Unikavi – Brand builders. They served up a total concept that beautifully translates the finesse of the restaurant into various tools such as menus and wine lists, business cards, gift vouchers and matching envelopes.
“For us at Zilte, it was essential to combine the right materials. Every detail had to be coordinated in our new concept. Our menus and wine lists, after-dinner pouches, etc. were also completely redesigned. We called on UNIKAVI – Brand builders for this entire new corporate identity. They understood better than anyone how to translate our new vision into a new logo, website, printed matter, etc.
After an intense creative collaboration, we naturally needed to find a printing partner. On the recommendation of UNIKAVI, we chose Buroform to take on this challenge. From the very first meeting, we felt that we were on the same wavelength. The more complex tailor-made printed matter certainly did not deter them. On the contrary, they constantly thought about how it could be improved to offer just that little bit more experience. Constant evaluation between the three parties resulted in this wonderful end result.”
