Festina Lente
Developed identity, branding, and interior experience for a new Italian restaurant in Kittery, Maine. From Italian, “Festina Lente” loosely translates to make haste slowly. The branding and interior design creates a relaxed and refined atmosphere - “rustic yet precise.” Work done while at Winter Holben Architects.
“…the team really helped me with honing in on my decisions and giving me the tools I needed to make them. The branding is the perfect example of this. Clean lines, simplicity, diversity of materials. I am still so happy every day when I walk through the door with how that space looks.”
— Sam Ostrow, Owner & Chef
