The murmurs are true
An opportunity to develop a new brand and coffee shop experience was presented to us by well-loved village pub, Kenny’s of Lucan, transforming its former off-licence into a daytime destination for great coffee, gourmet sandwiches, salads and açai bowls – from morning school runs and work-from-home days to weekend walks. Steeped in history and rich in character, the space sits opposite the river flowing through the heart of the village.
The Evolution
THE CHALLENGE
Nestled between two separate entrances to Kenny’s main pub and lounge, the challenge was to create a fascia that could stand alone while complementing its setting. A hatch window was explored for on-the-go service, alongside a complementary colour palette with enough strength to establish its own identity. Subtle contrasts in texture reflect the gentle energy of the surrounding nature and village life.
NATURAL PERSONALITY
Drawing on the location and everyday charm of the area, the ducks that gather around the river and meander through the village became the fitting characters of this coffee hub. They sit at the heart of its personality and storytelling. The name and brand language extend this idea, rooted in the character of the village while connecting naturally to the offering – creating a coffee shop brand that feels distinctly of its place, yet equally at home elsewhere.
