the Bel book

On the 17th of January 2016, Café de Bel celebrated its 25th jubilee. In honour of this the pub published a book which contained all the stories and memories of the past 25 years. It was up to me to design the entire book, that was an honour.

 

The final design exists of 200 pages with primarily pictures and stories which took place in this pub. Throughout the whole book a timeline is laid out.

An actual red line in the story, “Ferrari-red, RAL3020!” as Marc Glaser, owner of the Pub used to say. This specific colour was the red line in the pub as wel, the bar had been painted this colour 25 years ago and it still was.

 

The timeline guides you into the history of the building and highlights every pub owner of the last 25 years.
