Chateau Engalin
Brand identity for a culinary destination and celebration venue near Toulouse.
Founded by chef, owner, creative director and Master Chef finalist Marwan Badran, Engalin grew from a life lived across cultures and disciplines.
Sophisticated in its architecture, unruly in its spirit, the estate moves fluidly between indoor intimacy and outdoor excess.
The challenge was to design an identity that moves as fluidly as the experience itself. It needed to be Chateau-like and French in its foundations, yet expressive, generous and full of character.
The identity had to act as a unifying force, tying together the many moods of Engalin, from quiet refinement to exuberant celebration.
The colour palette draws directly from the kitchen with a fresh pistachio that references the seasonal local ingredients that feed the changing menu, and a Pomegranate Sumac red nodding to the Marwan's Middle Eastern origins.
