A tobacco factory turned restaurant, Nikotin's logo takes the shape of a cigarette

Design It's Nice That
Designer Davy Denduyver created a bold, cigarette-inspired branding for Amsterdam restaurant Nikotin, located in a former tobacco factory, featuring a custom logotype and handwritten typography.
What: Bruges-based designer Davy Denduyver developed the branding for Amsterdam restaurant Nikotin, co-founded by Nachbar and Michelin-starred chef Tim Van Der Molen. The identity uses a bright orange palette, an extended custom logotype subtly shaped like a cigarette with retro space-age influences, and rough India ink handwritten typography to reflect its grill-focused cooking and analogue dining experience.
Why it matters: This project demonstrates how a strong narrative and the historical context of a location can inspire unique and effective branding, even when unconventional, creating a cohesive visual and experiential identity.
