Nudo Noodle is a noodle brand in Chengdu rooted in the handmade tradition of Jiu Mian, expressing the tactile, hand-pulled process and everyday warmth of street-level food culture.

New York and Shanghai-based multidisciplinary design studio Workbyworks created the brand’s visual identity and graphic system, translating the earthy human warmth of Chinese street food culture into a contemporary design language grounded in vernacular design language.
