Project overview

Part of the revival of Île de Bendor commissioned by the Paul Ricard family, Le Grand Large is the island's more upscale restaurant, dedicated to seafood. It welcomes a resident chef every few months, so its identity had to stay steady while the kitchen keeps changing.

Duality guided the work. Where Nonna Bazaar is relaxed and open to all, Le Grand Large is the refined side of the island's table. We gave it an identity that feels as high-end as the table, and as open as the horizon.
