Brand identity and app for a street-food box: signature dishes from local cooks around the world, recreated at home. Designed to feel like an independent food and travel magazine — not another meal kit.

The brief

Street food. Local stories. At home.

A street-food box built around signature dishes found on Melanie and Rob's travels and developed with the locals who cook them. Pre-portioned ingredients, step-by-step recipe cards, no professional skills needed — delivered by bike in compostable packaging, starting in Antwerp.

Three boxes

  1. 01

    Local Legend

    The classics people grow up with and order without looking at the menu.

  2. 02

    Street Made

    Fast and loud: smoke, heat, crunch and layered sauces, ready in little time.

  3. 03

    Neighbourhood Bakes

    Fritters, breads, sticky sweets — the snacks sold on corners and markets.

Art direction

Less meal kit, more independent food and travel magazine.

Expressive

Bold type, strong colour and spontaneous photography bring energy and the social side of food.

Structured

Clean type, grids and clear information keep the brand smart and easy to use.

  1. 01 / 06 Logo A bicycle and a cloche: food and movement, with a nod to Belgium and delivery by bike.
  2. 02 / 06 Logo in use Sharp forms for energy, curves to keep it approachable — on every brand colour.
  3. 03 / 06 Colour Warm, food-led tones with one strong contemporary contrast, used selectively.
  4. 04 / 06 Typography Bold, condensed headlines for energy; a clean sans for everything you need to read.
  5. 05 / 06 Iconography Simple, bold and functional — the structured side of the identity.
  6. 06 / 06 Photography Direct flash, documentary style: people, busy tables, markets and city details.

Applications

From the box on the doorstep to the tote on the way to the market.

The app

Plan the next box, follow its delivery, explore cities and cook along step by step.

  2. 02 Authentic & Open Real places and local stories, without stereotypes.
  3. 03 Trendy, not mainstream Editorial references instead of meal-kit clichés.
  4. 04 Smart Structured layouts and clear, functional information.
