Elevating Authenticity: Poppins' Design Journey with Il Gattopardo Poppins, an end-to-end brand experience agency in London, collaborated with Il Gattopardo, the first original restaurant concept in D.ream Group's portfolio, to define its brand identity, blending artistry with authenticity – inspired by the charm of 1960s Italy. Poppins' approach was meticulous yet imaginative, focusing on the iconic leopard to capture the restaurant’s essence. They blended classic Italian style with modern design to create a brand that feels both timeless and modern. From leopard illustrations to the lively patterns and colors, every little detail was carefully crafted. It was important that Il Gattopardo’s interior matched the new brand identity. From the tableware to the bespoke wallpaper, even booking a table online, the goal was to ensure a seamless (branded) guest experience across all digital and physical touch points. The result is a brand that not only speaks to diners but also weaves in a narrative of 1960s Italian charm, brought to life through Poppins' visionary strategic, design and digital work.
