About me

I’m the founder of Dennis, a brand & design studio helping forward-thinking hospitality, food & beverage businesses communicate their stories. The world of hospitality is notoriously competitive. These days offering up great food, comfortable beds or delicious cocktails isn't enough to usher guests through your doors. To stand out from the crowd you need to tell an authentic & engaging story. Then communicate that story with beautiful design to make sure that people will remember you and share your brand with the world. Ready to cook up an exciting brand for your hospitality, food or beverage business? We'd love to talk: hello@dennis.studio

For this reason we created Zeena with a self-explanatory, matter-of-fact tone and a minimalist look & feel.

  TragaluzTragaluz is the flagship restaurant of Grupo Tragaluz in Barcelona. We were asked to refresh the identity alongside a revamped interior design & new menu. As a nod to the rich design history of the restaurant we decided to dive into the archives of Javier Mariscal, the renowned illustrator, who created the original identity in 1990.

But the brand story has always been greater than it’s tech, underpinned by Philippe Starck’s trademark mix of subversion and surrealism. With the 2015 collection extending to an ever-more style oriented market, a campaign was required to showcase it’s capabilities, its new audience and its unique take on eyewear.
