Gowings Restaurant

Brand identity design for one of Sydney’s most beloved and historic restaurants. Reimagined with an Italian theme by chef Sean Connolly.

Overview

Housed within the old Gowings building and department store — and now QT Sydney — Gowings Bar and Grill has had a storied past, to say the least. I was brought in as Design Director at Toben to help create an identity that paid homage to the rich history of the building on the one hand, while stepping into unexpected creative territory on the other.
