U!mano Brand

The bar project developed to the Ibis hotel chain immerses itself in the culture of São Paulo city in its essence: the way of appropriating every culture that arrives in the city, because nothing is strange, everything is digested by the city of São Paulo. The project should have the soul of São Paulo and the result was U! Mano, a name that unfolds in many meanings. It has in its composition a São Paulo slang, “mano” (meaning bro), used nowadays by everyone without class distinction, and an interjection, “U!”, showing excitement about something.

Laika is a design studio in a small tree-lined village in São Paulo. Just like the space travel female dog that gave its name to the Laika office, it's a way of looking at the same object from a different point of view. Since 2001, Laika has been traveling through the most diverse design modalities, always beginning from a method that starts from semiology and discourse analysis, for brand building.
