When a client and good friend hits you with the idea for the first vinyl wine bar in Alameda, California, you know it's time to level up. Enter Vinyl Wine Bar—a chill spot for wine lovers and music heads alike. We took cues from the art of vinyl, blending record-inspired shapes and patterns with typography that plays off turntable vibes and a classic wine glass silhouette. The result? A brand and space that celebrates the magic of great wine and soulful vinyl, creating a nostalgic escape from the grind.
WHAT WE DID
BACK TO PORTFOLIO
Industry: Wine bar
When the vision for Vinyl Wine Bar came to us, it wasn’t just about a killer brand—it was about creating a full sensory experience. Our studio stepped in to bring that vision to life, designing an interior that hits all the right notes. We leaned into the moody, reflective vibe of the modern industrial space, playing with dark tones, exposed concrete, and sleek metals to complement the warmth of vinyl spinning in the background.
We teamed up with a local candle artisan to capture the Vinyl vibe in two custom candle scents. These candles burn in the lounge every evening, setting the perfect mood, and guests can snag them to take that Vinyl experience home—along with a few bottles of wine, of course. Full sensory vibes, on and off the spot.
Moody, Sophisticated, Nostalgic
