Since 2015, I Design has had the pleasure of collaborating with Café Beignet, starting with a simple rack brochure that soon led to a full logo redesign. Over the past decade, we’ve partnered on a wide range of creative projects — from packaging and labels to this standout coffee can design.
The banana leaf motif you see here ties beautifully into Café Beignet’s identity — it appears across many of their products and locations. Visit their original spot at 334 Royal Street in the French Quarter, and you’ll spot real banana plants in the courtyard and hand-painted leaves on the ceiling.
One of the most rewarding parts of this project was transforming an artist’s illustration (I hope to get his name soon) of the four original Café Beignet locations (now five!) into detailed artwork that could be reproduced on a metal can — a perfect blend of artistry and craftsmanship.
