What a year. Big thanks to our brilliant team, collaborators, clients. We’re wrapping things up with a quick month-by-month recap of what we’ve been up to.

As always in the world of branding and hospitality, a lot of what we worked on this year is still quietly simmering behind the scenes. Most projects won’t see the light of day until next year, which is equal parts exciting and nerve wracking. So consider this a small sneak peek at what’s been cooking in the studio!

We’ll be back in 2026 with fresh energy, new ideas, and plenty to share. Until then, happy everything.

January

We kicked off the year with a gastronomic bang. A quick trip to Andalusia to start a new project with Avolta, still very top secret, but involving a lot of eating, drinking, and “research” across southern Spain. For this one we also got a taste of interior design, collaborating with Comeche on bringing to life four (yes, four!) different gastronomic concepts for travel hubs. We also bought in expert typographer Marco Rollo to bring to life the logos and visual identities.

February

Alma joined the team, officially making Dennis a small but mighty core family of four. We also started work on a new wellness club in Dubai, teaming up once again with our strategic partners Vandals. We also got to work with our lovely copywriter Alfie, always a pleasure.

March

March was spent deep in the details of a top secret new business from our friends at Astet. We got to bring in our long time collaborator Carla to work with us on the naming and strategy. Alongside that, we’ve been building a fresh brand and website for their studio, with more to come soon.

April

Back at it with long-term collaborators 8 Holland Street, this time on the newly acquired NINE furniture brand. One month, one full ecommerce site, lots of coffee.

May

Alení opened its doors in the lobby of Hotel Brummell. Our first project with the Funky team, and hopefully the first of many.

June

Another collaboration with Astet, this time branding a new restaurant in Frankfurt. Marina put her illustration skills to amazing use in this one, but you'll have to wait to see it... It’s one of those projects that makes you wish time moved faster, opening in 2026!

July

July brought another hush-hush project with Avolta, this time we got involved right from the conception phase, bringing in F&B consultants Kooleats to support us. Plus we had our annual summer lunch! Always a highlight.

August

We published the Casa Coll Hotels case study. A project we’re incredibly proud of, even if it never officially launched. Hospitality can be unpredictable, but good work is good work.

September

September saw the start of a new strategy, naming, and visual identity project for a nightclub in Ibiza. And another collaboration with brand strategist Carla! More on that one next year, naturally.

October

A new collaboration with Ansón+Bonet kicked off in October for an exciting restaurant opening in Madrid. Naming and visual identity done, with applications rolling out in January ahead of launch.

November

We designed the façade for UCO Bakery’s biggest project to date, a huge new location in Palma de Mallorca, and also saw the launch of their fourth panettone box design since opening. It’s officially become a Dennis tradition. We had the pleasure of Alex joining the studio for a month to support with various projects, and celebrated an early Christmas lunch.

December

This month saw the launch of Banana Books, collaborating with artist Juan Narowé on the branding. We closed the year by starting a rebrand for a sugarcane juice brand based in New York. Packaging hats firmly on, and a nice way to end the year.

Thanks for following along. See you in 2026.
