ARCADE
Opening July 22 in London's iconic Centre Point building, Arcade Food Theatre is a unique, all-day food and drink concept bringing together a diverse collection of innovative restaurant brands from across London. With brand strategy and visual identity developed by MATTE, Arcade is a passionate, yet playful dive into a sensory-driven and versatile food market experience. From the logo to the word ARCADE, MATTE carefully considered every element of the market's physical space and digital footprint. The entire library of colors, shapes and textures of this brand are a nod to the lively world of experiences and flavors one may find in this food theatre. With MATTE's creative oversight, Arcade is carefully curated but never conventional, bringing art installations from global galleries and live music to the table.

EQUINOX
