COFOCO

Information

COFOCO is a collective of restaurants and hospitality concepts, each with its own character yet united by a shared philosophy: quality, accessibility, and care for detail. Over the years, we have built a long-term partnership with COFOCO, developing brand identities and digital experiences across the collective - from Coco Hotel and Les Trois Cochons to Hotel Bella Grande and beyond.

Designing a collective identity

The challenge was to create a unifying brand and website that could hold the individuality of each restaurant while expressing Cofoco’s distinct tone and personality. The platform acts as a common home - connecting the many sub-brands under one roof while letting each come alive through its own colors, typography, and imagery.

A growing ecosystem

As Cofoco continues to expand, the identity and platform evolve with it - scalable, flexible, and designed to grow alongside new concepts and experiences. Together, they form a living ecosystem that celebrates both the collective and the character within it.

What did Spring/Summer create for Cofoco?

Spring/Summer designed and built the Cofoco brand system and digital platform, first launched in 2017 on Craft CMS. We led brand, strategy, design, and development for Copenhagen Food Collective, and have been the digital partner since, growing the platform as Cofoco has added restaurants and hotels.

What technology powers the Cofoco platform?

The Cofoco platform runs on Craft CMS as a living ecosystem. It is designed to hold many properties (Coco Hotel, Hotel Bella Grande, Les Trois Cochons, and more) with individual identities inside a common home, so the collective and each brand can each speak for themselves. New concepts drop into the same platform without breaking the identity.

What was the brief Spring/Summer was given?

Cofoco (Copenhagen Food Collective) is a group of restaurants and hospitality concepts, founded in 2004, that has shaped how Copenhagen dines. The brief was to create a unifying brand and website that could hold the individuality of each restaurant while expressing Cofoco's own tone: a common home connecting many sub-brands while letting each come alive through its own colours, typography, and imagery.

What design and strategic decisions shaped the project?

We treated the identity and platform as scalable and flexible from day one, so it could grow with the collective. The layout is controlled to protect coherence across properties, and the branding stays flexible per venue: each restaurant or hotel gets its own colour, typography, and imagery inside the shared frame. The result is a living ecosystem that celebrates both the collective and the character of each place.

What was the outcome of the Cofoco launch?

The Cofoco platform has grown into the digital home of a hospitality group that has kept expanding for years, from restaurants to boutique hotels including Coco and Hotel Bella Grande. The living ecosystem approach lets Cofoco add new concepts inside the same design system without a rebuild each time, and lets guests move across properties online in a way that feels like one house.

Who is this case relevant for?

This case is for hospitality groups, restaurant collectives, and multi-brand consumer businesses where a shared identity has to hold many distinct venues without flattening them. We love long-running partnerships and design systems built to grow with the client. If you are running a group brand that needs to feel like a family of individuals, this is the work we love.
