Bar Brutal
Bar Brutal, created by the Colombo brothers (xemei) and Juan Valencia (Cuveé 3000), is a unique restaurant located in the heart of Barcelona, near Plaza Sant Jaume, which is characterised by its offer of natural wines and cold dishes.
With a modern and avant-garde culinary proposal, this transgressive space celebrates clean, pure and direct wines, made without sulphites, carefully selected from among 600 international references.
Its extensive wine cellar also includes an outstanding selection of vermouths and aperitifs, making it an essential meeting point for lovers of wine and alternative gastronomy.
For the creation of its graphic identity, we were inspired by the revolutionary and unique essence of natural wine.
The visual image of Bar Brutal is a tribute to the brutal, transgressive and revealing wine, captured through a raw and visceral graphic style, as if it were a revolutionary pamphlet.
All the graphics were handmade, using manual techniques, brushes and gestural strokes, which reinforces the genuine and daring character of the place.
The predominant use of powerful red gives the identity an energetic and vibrant tone, elevating the visual impact and giving the restaurant an unmistakable presence.
The punchy phrases and graphic elements, all designed by hand, add freshness and a provocative air that perfectly reflects the bar's philosophy: a visceral, authentic and brutal experience that defies gastronomic conventions.
Bar Brutal is not just a restaurant, it is a visual and sensory manifesto that combines a passion for natural wine and a revolutionary aesthetic that makes it an icon of Barcelona's gastronomic scene.
