01The Studio
Barista-founded.
Café focused.
— Positioning
Studio Arabica helps independent café owners turn an idea into a clear, consistent brand.
The studio was founded by a barista, so the work begins with an understanding of everyday café life: the menu on the counter, the cup in a customer's hand, and the materials a small team needs to use consistently.
We focus on practical identity systems for cafés that are opening or ready for a thoughtful refresh. Each scope is kept clear, each decision is explained, and concept work is labelled honestly.
Based in Kuwait. Working with cafés in Kenya and the GCC.
