'Morfar' means literally ‘to eat’ in an Argentinian dialect called ‘Lunfardo’. As you may know, Argentina received hundreds of thousands of European immigrants including Croats, our ancestors. The mix of languages was what brought the Lunfardo to life.
Additionally, these immigrants created an artistic style known as Filete Porteño which in 2015 was added to UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as we used it as an inspiration for all the branding. From the logo to the aesthetic of the shop, everything is based on Filete Porteño and Buenos Aires.
Our idea behind Morfar is to connect our two cultures: Argentinian and Croatian. Bringing these new flavors, products, music, and all the things we were missing, we hope we can make people travel to Argentina without moving from Split.
