NAMO Italian introduces the authentic heritage of Italian cuisines – a very new concept to the streets of Saigon. Besides educating the eager-eaters through the dishes, ‘NAMO also delivers the knowledge through very casual settings, in which the customers could sit back and enjoy while waiting for their food. Hence, placemats were born.

‘NAMO wants create the illustrations for the 2 placemat contents: (1) South Italian authentic wine and (2) Italian pastas. As a role of illustrator, I want to intertwine the image of South Italy coast, a famous landmark with the bottle of wine. Secondly, the most difficult part is to create the lively images of the pastas: precision in thickness and shapes (thick, thin, flat, round etc) to distinguish them with each other.
