A fresh brand identity for Chocolate Buddha, an established Japanese restaurant set across Flinders Street Station in Melbourne. 



Guided by Maddison Architects’ Japanese Mid-Century interior design, we took inspiration from the restaurant’s unique location to rebrand Chocolate Buddha with a train station vernacular. The identity reflects the intersection of railroads seen at Flinders Street Station, much like the lines pulsing through Tokyo Station.
