In search of a quality F&B brand that would match their new

Managed by the Accor Group, La Résidence recently

MGallerys are known to have distinct styles and

PurpleAsia was approached to create a highly graphic

residents of Manila would travel across the city for.
Enter Ruby Wong, a mysterious and sultry, no-nonsense
bar owner with a background in the Godowns
amongst the sailors. Gaining access through a steamy,
savoury noodle bar, guests enter Ruby's burlesque
world, where everyone is a part of the show.
The visual identity is built from an electric mix of tattoo
inspired illustrations and new retro typography. The
result is a highly distinctive and mysterious brand with
an edge.

meal is meticulously prepared and cooked using
one of the world’s oldest methods, charcoal and

seasonal-quality produce and invites guests to

29. Raffles Maldives
Yuzu
Full Brand Identity / Logo / Menu
A combination of the elegant and delicate flavours of
Japan and the fresh, spicy punch of Peru, Yuzu is an
exciting new take on island fine dining. Serving a delicious
array of Nikkei cuisine, the dinner-only restaurant shares
its name with the small citrus fruit from Japan. Known for
its unique acidity, our namesake features in many Nikkei
sauces and haute-cuisine dishes around the world.
The restaurant takes inspiration from the historic routes of
Nikkei cuisine, born when Japanese farmers landed in
Peru and began using local ingredients to make their
traditional dishes (right around the time that the
legendary Raffles opened its doors in Singapore). Yuzu
Nikkei Cuisine pairs Japanese dishes with Peruvian
flavours and cooking techniques to deliver a gastronomic
sensation guests won’t soon forget.

Thari
Full Brand Identity / Logo / Menu
The Maldives is a magical place, and when the billions
of stars come out at night and reflect on the lagoon, a

Thari means 'star' in the native Dhivehi language, and
our restaurant is inspired by the starry night sky and
cool ocean breeze. Serving up delicious early morning
breakfasts and delightful noontime lunches, like any
restaurant on the atoll, it’s the star-lit dinners that will
capture guests’ hearts and excite the senses. Featuring
international and local favourites in a casual island-
dining atmosphere, there is something for every visitor
to the restaurant.

Yapa Sunset Bar
Full Brand Identity / Logo / Menu
Located alongside Yuzu, Yapa Sunset Bar draws
its inspiration from the national drinks of South
America and Japan featuring Pisco, Mezcal,
Tequila, and Sake. The name itself is Peruvian slang
for 'a little more', a coaxing phrase guests will find
themselves using to convince travelling partners to
enjoy another drink well into the starlight hours.
Featuring light-bites and mouth-watering cocktails,
Yapa Sunset Bar is an experience guests to the
resort will relish returning to again and again.

32. Holiday Inn
Manja Manja
All-Day Dining restaurants across the hospitality sphere are taking
on an existence of their own. Located in southern Vietnam, near the
airport, Holiday Inn approached PurpleAsia in search of a brand
that would excite guests about breakfast, appeal to the office lunch
crowd, and lure brunch enthusiasts out of the city centre.
The restaurant was to lean heavily on Italian cuisine, while guests
would primarily be from the north of Vietnam. We thought to
emphasise the duality between southern Italian and Vietnamese
cuisine and practices, delivering a personality, design, menu, and
experience that would heavily reflect the south of each country. A
strong, bold primary colour palette based on the colours of each
flag combine with hand-painted signs and creative textiles to
deliver a bright, inviting brand.
In both Vietnamese and Italian cultures, "have you eaten?" is the
first question a loved one asks, hence our adaptation of the Italian
word "mangia" which means "EAT!"

As Singapore giant, Frasers Property’s first residential
development in Vietnam, it was vital for PurpleAsia to get this
brand and its elements right.
Branded as a vertical reflection of the lifestyle associated
with Thao Dien, Q2 THAO DIEN embodies the same light,
airy, stylish sophistication as the development itself. Seen
throughout a suite of collaterals, PurpleAsia created a sleek
brand for Ho Chi Minh City’s middle- and upper-class market.

campaign with inspirational concepts and stories. Q2 THAO

98. Premium Credit Card Design
As Shinhan Bank prepared to introduce its premium Private
Wealth Management service to VIP customers, they
required an upmarket design that would match the product
and appeal to its audience. Wanting to keep their original
template while delivering something new, Shinhan
approached PurpleAsia to develop a rich, eye-catching
look and feel.
Looking toward Korean culture, art, and architecture, we
were inspired by ancient coins, which represent wealth; the
beautiful wall and window patterns that carry historic
charm; and the country’s lasting traditional architecture.
The gold edge gives the card a striking yet elegant feel,
while the overall finished product is beautiful and refined,
adding a sense of style and class to an already exceptional
product.

AA Corporation is a silent partner for some of the world's
most exclusive hotels and restaurants experience. Their
attention to detail and desire for perfection means they are
the perfect interior fit out company for high-end interior
design.
PurpleAsia were asked to help refresh the AA Corporation
visual identity through the creation of a master credentials
brochure that showcases the best fit-outs of recent years.
The brochure was designed to be informative and minimal;
much like a museum we wanted the work to speak for itself.
Red is used with purpose to aid navigation and add pace to
the brochure. We mixed different stocks and materials to
reinforce AA Corporation's expertise in sourcing and
creating the perfect finishes.

Annam Gourmet Market is a high-end luxury retailer
carrying many of the world’s most loved and admired
brands, but until recently had no effective constituency with
consumers itself. We worked over a period of two years to
bring an effective platform to the brand and to introduce a
range of own-brand signature products which were readily
adopted by the target audience.
The brand has now evolved from a deli/grocer to a fully
developed gourmet supermarket with a strong following of
both international and Vietnamese consumers. They
recently took the flagship supermarket lease in
Takashimaya, the country’s premier shopping mall, and
continue to grow their brand with new outlets and
offerings.
