Keefer Spring Menus

Heres’s a little behind the scenes with the crafting of the Keefer Bar’s menu. Chinese calligraphy rice paper, purchased in Vancouver Chinatown is cut to size. The graphics and type treatment are then printed with an aged effect. After printing, each menu is sorted and trimmed to it’s final size and folded inwards. (above) The menu’s are binded on the right hand side which requires the user to flip the pages with their left hand – a subtle intention of the ‘East’ experience. Lastly, each menu is treated, giving the paper a coarse texture and a vintage presentation. (below) Check em out at the Keefer Bar in Vancouver Chinatown! Their cocktails are truly unique.
