Postino
This Phoenix-based wine bar was a dream client. Uber creative from the ownership-down, holding art and place at the center of their cultural values. With an aggressive growth plan and a desire to make each new location feel original and reflect the history of the neighborhood it serves, art and placemaking played a critical role. Each location features original murals by local artists, and a dimensional, site-specific art installation creatively nodding to the history of the building or neighborhood.
