Kon Tiki Restaurant & Lounge
Established in 1963, during the second coming of the tiki rise and revolution, Kon Tiki is now one of the last remaining original outposts to survive what could be considered a tik bar depression. Kon Tiki is a purveyor of Aloha and proud practitioners of hospitality who would like to welcome you to delight in a “one of a kind” atmosphere that is home to the world’s largest collection of Milan Guanko carved tikis and assorted island curios. Today, Kon Tiki is still a neighborhood-centric destination, that is best known for a cocktail menu of 50+ tiki inspired libations as well as a collection of island and inland comfort foods.
Project Breakdown: This project was a personal rebrand of the existing Kon Tiki restaurant located in Tucson, Arizona. This restaurant communicates a very playful environment, extravagant theme, and live performances. Playing off of their largest collection of Milan Guanko carved tikis and assorted island curios I illustrated menu characters that uniquely reflected each food category. My goal was to carry over their playful atmosphere into the menus. They all have one this to say “I’m hungry”.
