Cadena + Asociados

Appreciating the brand identity of this churreria, El Moro, located in Mexico City. The design was created by Mexican designer Ignacio Cadena in his studio Cadena + Asociados. The inviting palette
is chromatic with the color white inspired by sugar. The graphic symbols are repeated on the walls, floor tiles, aprons and other food accessories.

“In contemporary societies Design is not a luxury anymore, it is a necessity. Everything around us is Design and should revolve around the direct benefit of humans and planet earth. Design today more than ever has the possibility of changing the world and the way we inhabit it”  – Cadena+Asociados

She is “inspired by vintage textiles, all things Slavic, mystery novels, the ocean and long-forgotten ephemera.”  The artist is known widely for her intricate paintings but today we are focusing on her embroidery enhanced illustrations.

More of her work can be seen on her website, Facebook and Instagram. Some of her work can be purchased in her Etsy shop.
