We had the privilege of collaborating on RUMMAN – Taste of Greece Oman, the Mediterranean-inspired restaurant at The St. Regis Al Mouj in Muscat. Our mission was to develop a complete visual identity and spatial language for this concept that bridges Greek coastal dining and Omani warmth through design, materiality, and storytelling.

The visual universe merges Mediterranean craft and modern elegance. Soft beige and slate-blue tones, natural stone textures, and amphora-inspired illustrations form a refined yet tactile brand ecosystem. The pottery silhouettes, developed as a modular illustration system, celebrate ancient vessels as bridges of culture and trade, echoing both Greek and Omani maritime heritage.

Menus, coasters, business cards, and uniforms were designed with the same ethos – minimal, textured, and artisanal – ensuring every guest touchpoint carries the same sensorial warmth and timeless sophistication. The result is a brand that feels both authentic and contemporary, where each detail, from the carved signage to the tactile menu cover, expresses the elegance of shared Mediterranean dining.

BRANDING INSPIRATION

The story of RUMMAN begins with a vessel — the amphora — passed from one shore to another. From Greece to Oman, it carried not only olive oil and wine, but also stories, gestures, and ways of sharing. In RUMMAN, that same spirit of exchange becomes a language of form and texture: the curve of a pot, the grain of stone, the whisper of linen against wood.

 Every line of the identity follows that movement — quiet, deliberate, and human. The typography breathes with restraint, as if carved into clay; the palette blends sea and desert, indigo and sand; and the illustrations become echoes of hands that once shaped vessels by the shore.
