KOKO

Envisioned by the team behind Ryuko, KOKO is a casual Japanese eatery situated at The Calgary Farmers’ Market’s new West location. Rooted in the visual language of Japanese convenience store culture (konbini), its design serves as a nostalgic nod to the elements that ground us in the familiarity of our daily lives. In Japanese, KOKO can be translated as ‘baby tiger’ — since ‘ko’ means both ‘tiger’ and ‘child’ — which inspired the playfulness of this identity system, brimming with small moments of unexpected joy.
