A calm, modern brand identity for a play café where childhood flows like waves.
Nalu Play Café is a brand built around the natural rhythm of childhood, full of movement, imagination, and growth. The name, taken from the Hawaiian word for “wave,” reflects the ebb and flow of kids’ energy: moments of high activity balanced with quiet, thoughtful discovery. The goal of the design was to create an identity that feels both modern and warm, inviting children to explore and parents to pause.
The branding system combines clean typography with organic wave-inspired elements and a calming yet lively color palette. The visual language balances minimalism with playfulness: simple shapes, natural textures, and airy layouts create a sense of flow without overwhelming the senses. Every detail, from logo to environmental inspiration boards, was chosen to evoke connection, movement, and calm, values at the heart of Nalu.
