Comptoir Libanais, London
Tony Kitous brought Lebanese home-style dishes to London’s High Streets with Comptoir Libanais. He wanted the brand from packaging and to wall graphics of his restaurant to echo Rana Salam’s distinctive patterns and prints. Researching her visual archive, Rana chose a Middle Eastern ephemera and selected the right image for his brand. The result is exciting wall graphics and packaging that have successfully captured the contemporary flare and flavour of Comptoir Libanais. These unique graphics along side the interiors created by www.borndesign.com immediately
helped the restaurants attract attention and have been attributed to their success.
Rana appointed photographer Ingrid Rasmussen to work on the project to give Comptoir Libanais a stylish/trendy vision. Rasmussen was the original photographer for Thames and Hudson's hugely popular 'STYLE CITY' series, working on the launch titles of London, Paris, New York and Barcelona.

Make it stand out.
With clear Art Direction, we scout and commission the most suitable photographers and stylists for the job. We brief and work along side the appointed team making sure the work is created with the vision in mind and the budget allocated to get the results the project requires.
Tony Kitos commissioned Dan Lepard the award-winning baker, food writer and photographer.
We insisted that Dan visits Beirut to capture the true essence of its food culture and hospitality, which was delivered perfectly in his final photographs for the two cookbooks: Comptoir Libanais and Comptoir Libanais Express.
