THE CHALLENGE

Coffee is deeply connected to Ethiopian heritage, yet its growing environmental impact creates a conflict between tradition and sustainability.

 

The challenge was to create a distinctive identity that respected these cultural roots while positioning Bunahue as a progressive alternative to conventional coffee.

THE SOLUTION

The identity uses patterns and symbols found in Ethiopian woven crafts as the foundation for a bold visual system. These elements were translated into expressive marks, strong colour pairings and oversized typography, creating packaging that feels culturally rooted, modern and hard to ignore.

WHY IT WORKS

The identity connects heritage with change without feeling nostalgic or overly polished. Its bold marks, raw energy and direct voice reflect the people Bunahue is made for: conscious, restless and ready for something better.
