Book Bar has been a sensation from the moment it was announced.
Turns out that, in a moment characterized by digital malaise and social isolation, a beautiful, welcoming space full of books and food and drinks is exactly what people have been craving.
StudioDA work with Book Bar’s founders, Tom and Robin, to build a narrative around the power of books to bring people together. Building on this, we developed a visual identity system that we’ve since rolled out across merch, signage and so much more.
Book Bar is also a fantastic example of the magic that happens when we work with our sister company,
@designagency.co. The interiors are spectacular. And the street itself—a revitalized strip of Markham, amidst Mirvish Village, also home to Badiali and Blackbird—is going to be Toronto’s most charming, vibrant commercial strip.
Loved being a part of this. Congrats team
@bookbarto!
