CALVADOS is a fictional cocktail bar that I created as a passion project.
I was inspired by the renowned novel by Erich Maria Remarque "Arch of Triumph". The apple brandy Calvados is an integral part of the narrative and is also very prevalent in the protagonists' lives.
As an avid enjoyer of the novel, I really wanted to pay tribute to it with this design.
“Ravic emptied his glass. He got a package of cigarettes out of his pocket, took one out and lit it. His hands were not yet steady. He flung the match on the floor and ordered another calvados. That face, that smiling face which he thought he had just seen again – he must have been.”
