BAR BAMBINO

Cocktail Lounge

Scottsdale, US - 2025


︎Visual Identity  ︎Illustrations ︎Collateral Design


Created by &LANA • © &LANA LLC.

Summary

I was engaged to develop a comprehensive visual identity for Bar Bambino, a sophisticated cocktail lounge tucked inside the renowned Italian restaurant Élephante in Scottsdale, Arizona. My work encompassed the following key components:

  1. Visual Identity and Guidelines: Crafted a brand identity that leans into Italian sophistication with a wink—timeless, romantic, and just the right amount of bold. A full set of guidelines ensures every detail feels intentional and cohesive.

  2. Hand-Drawn Illustrations: Designed custom illustrations that bring warmth and personality to the brand. These elements are featured throughout the lounge’s physical collateral, digital platforms, and interior details.

  3. Collateral Design: Designed a full range of branded assets, including menus, custom glassware, matchbooks, coasters, business cards, and additional printed materials. Each piece was carefully crafted to reflect the intimate, elevated atmosphere of the space.



Goal

The goal was to create a visual identity for Bar Bambino that feels timeless yet contemporary—capturing the essence of Italian hospitality with a bold, design-forward sensibility. From the logo and color palette to the tiniest printed detail, every element was designed to whisk guests away—inviting them into a world that feels both effortlessly chic and deeply personal.

Client

Bar Bambino is an upscale cocktail lounge located within Élephante, an acclaimed Italian restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona. With a drinks program rooted in Italian classics and a meticulously curated interior, Bar Bambino offers an elevated yet relaxed setting that brings a fresh rhythm to the cocktail experience.
