Codex B.ooks A.ntiques and R.arities is a speakeasy restaurant and bar that is hidden with the facade of a used bookstore. The interior of Codex B.A.R. is decorated with many vintage books and antiques, but offers fine-dining and high-end craft cocktails. With this client, the aim was to incorporate inspiration from both the hidden secrecy of a speakeasy and the theme of a used bookstore. The project entailed the creation of a seasonal menu book featuring vintage illustrations sourced from the speakeasy’s vintage book collection, scanned and made into vector graphics, a black on black “secret” business card for the restaurant, owner, bar manager, and executive chef, a subtle website showcasing the food and drink available, a set of gift certificates designed to be paired with a book of the purchasers choice and returned upon visit of the certificate recipient, and a full set of branded hats and t-shirts sold at the speakeasy.
