How to transform the Spanish character into an experience in the heart of Shanghai?

At Folks, we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Jamoteca, a Spanish gastronomic enclave in the heart of Shanghai, China. Our work focused on the comprehensive creation of its corporate identity and brand experience, blending the rich Spanish culinary tradition with a modern and welcoming touch.

From the conception of the brand to the materialization of its essence in every detail, we dedicated ourselves to forging a visual identity that encapsulates Jamoteca’s very essence. We developed a distinctive logo that evokes the familiarity of authentic Spanish restaurants, merging traditional craftsmanship with contemporary elements.

In collaboration with the design studio Astet, the approach encompassed interior design, recreating an atmosphere that transports customers to the characteristic ambiance of Spain’s most emblematic corners. The balance between the classic and the avant-garde is reflected in every corner, inviting guests to feel at home while exploring new culinary experiences.

The carefully selected color palette represents the energy and welcoming spirit of Spain, conveying a warm and cheerful tone reflected both in the brand and in the customer experience.

To complement this visual identity, we developed a dynamic and cheerful illustrative style that captures the vitality inherent in Spanish culture. These illustrations enhance Jamoteca’s overall experience, adding an additional layer of authenticity and modernity to the brand.

This project represents Folks’ commitment to excellence in creating brands and branding experiences that endure in the minds and hearts of those who experience them.

About

We work to design your future so irresistible

Folks, a strategic design studio committed to positive transformation, has been dedicated to driving brands, organizations and movements guided by purpose towards strategic success with a beneficial impact on the world.

+15 years, we have collaborated with leaders and visionaries, both in national and international markets, covering various sectors and needs.

We unite strategy, identity and experience to drive positive impact inside and outside an organization and to explore new frontiers. We move businesses, people, and the world forward.

In a world with increasingly complex challenges, having a clear vision and direction is crucial. We help companies navigate this uncertain landscape by exploring potential futures and designing strategies that pave the way towards a more sustainable and equitable future for all. Brands have the responsibility and opportunity to lead this change by aligning their strategies with social values and positively contributing to the well-being of people and the planet.

Identity is not just about simple asset identifiers. It's about doing the right thing through actions and ethical behaviors. We call it: responsible leadership. We turn your identity into a catalyst for change that drives your efforts, transforming your vision of the future into a reality that people can experience today.

The experience is no longer about simple transactions; it's about transformation. Brands that recognize this emerge as leaders of change. Today, people's expectations towards brands are higher than ever, and loyalty is fragile. That's why it's not enough to proclaim who we are; we must demonstrate it with tangible actions. It's about moving towards a common good: our employees, customers, community, and planet.
