Where Global Flavors Meet Local Ingredients

Chef Pushkar Marathe gathered knowledge and inspiration from diverse global cooking traditions from the far east of India to the western edge of California. In creating his restaurant, Stage, he continues to nourish his constant inspiration through cooking seasonal and regional cuisine – merging the roots of his home with the fruit of his travels.

When Chef Marathe envisioned Stage, he turned to Super Spicy to bring this vision to life. We crafted a visual identity that speaks to the evolution of his culinary experiences. The wordmark and monogram were inspired by the idea of growth and connection through interwoven traditions. The art direction conveys a sense of provenance for these centuries-old techniques and native ingredients, while also shaping a rich visual narrative that captures the essence of Stage's cuisine.
