Sobremesa

Counter

Positioning

An intimate cannabis members club with two rooms — Barcelona (Born) and Buenos Aires (Palermo Soho). One membership, sponsored entry, 280 socios max. Bilingual Spanish-first.

A private-label San Francisco dispensary chain using the modern flagship retail playbook: glass, light wood, iPads, no cash wrap.

Audience

Members. 280 socios total across both rooms — hard ceiling. Sponsored by existing members.

Premium San Francisco buyers who already shop Apple, Aesop, Mejuri, Sweetgreen, and expect cannabis retail to match the rest of their week.

Voice

Fully bilingual Spanish-first, English-second. Add Argentine Spanish (vos forms, lunfardo where natural) for Buenos Aires copy. Reserved, considered, the voice of an after-dinner conversation that hasn't ended yet.

Quiet, premium, modernist, and product-led. Short retail-system copy, not lifestyle cannabis copy.

Style

Cream + terra red + olive green + warm black. Bilingual typography. Door-to-door treatment between the two rooms.

Clean white surface, deep ink, electric coral accent, maple architecture, Manrope display type, product edition grammar.

Avoids

Franchise model, chain expansion, American cannabis branding, "elevated" language, party imagery

Legacy glass-case dispensary format, cash-wrap checkout, third-party shelf chaos, streetwear cannabis cues
