Red Restaurants
Exceedingly well Red
Project overview
Red Restaurants, founded by Dave “Red” Matheson, has become a Guernsey institution, known as much for its character as its cuisine. From the early days of steakhouse tours in London to the more recent challenge of rebuilding after a devastating fire, the brand has always evolved with boldness and creativity. Our role has been to help Red capture this spirit through design, building identities that reflect the restaurant’s craftsmanship, eclectic energy and commitment to delivering an unforgettable dining experience.
Project details
The first iteration of the brand embraced a contemporary French bistro feel, refined but approachable. Typography rooted in traditional French design paired with hand-drawn illustrations created a crafted and rustic sensibility. The system extended across menus, placemats, coasters, signage and digital platforms, giving Red a strong and consistent presence that elevated every detail of the dining experience without ever feeling too stylised or aloof.
