Nutshell Branding & Website Development

Listen to article

Nutshell, London, is a restaurant that offers the secrets of Iranian cuisine and Nutshell's owners, Mohammad and Marwa, want to share these unique dishes with London's diners



Blessed with an abundance of spices, herbs, fruits, and nuts from centuries of trade at the heart of the Silk Road, Iranian cuisine boasts a wild diversity that is seldom seen outside of the Iranian home.

The Challenge

Nutshell wanted a high-end yet nature-inspired concept for their brand.

We needed to reflect the courage of opening a brand new restaurant, the quality of the ingredients, that passion of the owners, the high-end, top-quality and glorious flavour of the food; and we needed to reflect this in everything from business cards to logos to a brand new state-of-the-art website.

The Solution

Inspired by the pistachio nut, we started with the logo and chose to provide a hand painted watercolour image that flows, is easily recognisable and is effortlessly unobtrusive. We introduced brand guidelines that reflect the wonders of the dishes served, that reflect the chic and fashionable locale.

This was also reflected in the new website and we created a stunningly elegant, simple, but high-end site that is easy to use and has nothing to hide.

Results

Nutshell saw a significant increase in both footfall into their London restaurant and also through their website traffic and engagement.

The client was impressed by our ability to cement their establishment as one of the globe's most chic and trendy areas.
