Swiss Bourgeoisie meets Oriental Heart
✦
Digital presence and brand identity for Cafe Lang
Neighbourhood Cafe in the Heart of Zurich
✦
The Essence
Cafe Lang is a neighborhood cafe in the heart of Zurich where Swiss bourgeoisie meets oriental heart. This unique gathering place blends the precision of Swiss hospitality with the warmth of oriental culture, creating a vibrant space where every guest becomes part of the family. With its many niches and cozy corners, the cafe adapts to every guest's needs.
The cafe needed a brand identity and digital presence that could capture their dual heritage, infectious warmth, and remarkable adaptability. The core challenge: creating a visual identity that marries Swiss sophistication with oriental vibrancy, paired with a digital platform that radiates the same heartfelt hospitality and flexibility guests experience in person.
✦
The Alchemy
We crafted a brand identity that celebrates the collision of two worlds through explosive color and reimagined oriental patterns. Traditional geometric motifs were given a contemporary twist, creating a modular pattern system that can be rearranged and adapted, reflecting Cafe Lang's own adaptability.
The transformation involved weaving Swiss precision with oriental exuberance. Vibrant colors dance across modern interpretations of classic patterns, while maintaining the clarity expected in Zurich's design landscape. The pattern design itself became a metaphor for the cafe's flexibility: elements that can be reconfigured for different applications, just like their space adapts from intimate Eggli to bustling communal areas. Every element was infused with the cafe's generous spirit: bold typography that welcomes, patterns that embrace, and a color palette that radiates warmth.

The Presence
We built a vibrant digital home that extends Cafe Lang's warm embrace into the digital realm. Using Squarespace as our foundation, we pushed the platform's limits with custom SVG animations that bring the oriental patterns to life.
Key implementations include: animated SVG patterns that dance and shift as visitors scroll, an adaptive pattern system that reconfigures across different pages, an interactive menu showcasing their Swiss-Oriental fusion offerings, integrated reservation system for their coveted tables and cozy niches, a visual story section celebrating their cultural bridge, and responsive design that maintains visual vibrancy and animation fluidity across all devices.
The result is a digital presence as warm and inviting as the cafe itself: sophisticated enough for Zurich's bourgeoisie, vibrant enough to capture their oriental heart, flexible enough to reflect their adaptability, and technically ambitious enough to make every visitor stop and say "wow."
"Digital Alchemy translated what only existed as nebulous energy in my head into something other people can actually understand and feel. Thank you!"
