Celebrating a Decade with Varzinn Hotel

This year, Dotgraf marks ten years of collaboration with Varzinn Hotel – a partnership that has blossomed with the teamwork between Dotraf and CEO Sérgio Torre. Over these years, we’ve embarked on a journey that transcends mere aesthetics, crafting three distinct versions of the hotel’s website and numerous graphic projects. Among these, one project stands out—the breakfast wall illustration that has become a hallmark.

21 short stories on serendipitous meetings

Our collaboration reached new creative heights after our success with The Family Spot blog. Sérgio brought us a challenge that sparked our imaginations: to create a series of short stories about chance encounters at the hotel—serendipitous meetings that blossom into friendships, and sometimes, true love!

Mosaics and icons were used to animate the intro

We realized that a simple graphic approach wouldn’t suffice for the dynamic world of Instagram. So, we married design with storytelling, using mosaic tiles to introduce videos, blending design with narrative. The result? Twenty-one micro-short films, each one a delightful vignette that invites viewers to step away from their screens, leave the comfort of their couches, and embrace life’s unexpected adventures.
