East Village restaurant graphics by Merola Design

Restau­rant graph­ics designed for One & One

This restau­rant bar in the New York’s East Vil­lage promises a gourmet tra­di­tional Irish menu with the best fish and chips this side of the Atlantic. The last busi­ness to occupy this space on the cor­ner of First Street and First Avenue caught fire and stayed empty for years until One and One reopened it’s doors in the spring of 1998. Gal­lic inspired icons through­out the room feel right at home with the tat­tooed clad patrons. Fire red painted walls and church can­dles help breath life back into this for­merly empty and ash filled space. Menu design, can­dles matches and room dividers were also designed.
