Itsi Bitsi Cupcakes

This space, typical of the small stores on this stretch of Notre-Dame( Montréal, Canada), has no other structural charms beyond being well-proportioned and possessing two symmetrical windows situated on each side of the door. Yet even from the street, you can already see a lovely décor that is clean, modern, dominated by blond wood and has been dressed up with hints of colour. This store may serve cupcakes, but its style is much more Scandinavian than British. To the left, the sales counter is composed of windows and clever compartments. Inside, the well-aligned cakes form rows that progress by flavour. To the right, beautiful steel shelves hang over light wood storage cabinets. They serve to showcase a selection of objects and products that are as much a part of the décor as they are the commercial mission of the store. At the back of the space is a mural of giant photos that creates dynamism and reinforces the attention paid to the design.

Elektra Bakery

Studioprototype Architects has created Elektra Bakery interior design in Edessa (Greece). Working with a narrow, linear floor plan a rigorous language was developed for the shop based on a long marble food counter acting as a monolithic focal point of the spatial arrangement. Light and luminosity flood the interior of the bakery accentuating the food items on display. Exquisite materials such as Carrara marble, cedar wood and brass serve as the backdrop for all food products instilling the rustic and artisan aspect of making bread. A sense of craftsmanship is imbued with the exterior of the shop clad in vertical cedar boards. Punctuating the cedar cladding on the long facade, a black powder coated steel window box projects outwards beyond the ‘crust’ of the shop, expanding the space to serve as a seating area and bar for customers inside and outside the shop. Carefully selected furniture and lights completes the overall composition. Outside the bakery shop a tree provides shade for the dining tables and gives the natural atmosphere in combination with the wooden wall of the shop. Elegant, functional and appealing, this place does not seem to lack anything, despite its tight space.

Le Pain Quotidien

What he wanted was so simple: bread, hearty and wholesome, with a firm slice and a good crust. Alain Coumont learned about bread as a small child, standing on a chair every Sunday watching his grandmother bake bread. As a young chef in Brussels, Alain could not find the right bread for his restaurant. Passionate about quality, he returned to his roots and opened a small bakery where he could knead flour, salt and water into the rustic loaves of his childhood. He called his bakery “Le Pain Quotidien".
