Ciabatta bread is one of the most popular Italian breads, known for its soft interior and crisp golden crust. What makes it unique is its airy texture — a light, tender crumb behind a crust that stays fragrant and crisp.

The identity begins with a mascot: an abstract face, a few lines and dots, able to shift between joy, surprise and mischief. It became the soul of the brand and the constant across a year of campaigns, guest chef collaborations, packaging and seasonal work.
