The narrative of a coastal memory that originates in the stone (stina) and materializes in the north. STINA is a Mediterranean–Adriatic restaurant in Stockholm designed to translate the unfiltered warmth and rural traditions of Dalmatia into a refined contemporary setting. Drawn from the emotional quality of the Ikavian dialect, the concept required an identity that could bridge two worlds - carrying the sun-soaked heritage of the south into the cool, sophisticated context of a Scandinavian capital.

We crafted an identity rooted in quiet luxury and understated craftsmanship. Inspired by ancient marine motifs and the simplicity of coastal life, the visual system blends natural textures with retro-chic cues to evoke a sense of timelessness. The logo itself acts as a subtle anchor - hiding a quiet, geometric reference to the coastline within its typography. Every element, from the tactile paper of the menu to the color palette, is calibrated to feel both nostalgic and modern, like a faded summer memory restored to clarity.

In a culinary landscape defined by trends, STINA emerges as a sanctuary of authenticity. It creates an atmosphere that is rough yet tender, honoring the "Stina" name. The identity successfully echoes the Adriatic spirit, proving that true luxury lies not in excess, but in the honest connection between people, food, and tradition - regardless of the latitude.
