For the exterior facade, we employed Nero Guoci marble and sleek stainless steel trims to delineate the entire shop. Breaking away from the conventional cozy aesthetic of traditional bakeries, this approach lends the space a subtle luxury uniquely suited to high-end commercial spaces.

We specially designed an array of "bread star installations for the storefront. Taking advantage of the shop's comer location in the complex, this visual feature integrates seamlessly into the customer's shopping routeallowing passersby to easily notice the store's highlights while in motion This creates a visual foundation for the concept of "accessible bakery services." We crafted the checkout counter and display tables from massive, unrefined stone blocks-a highly uncommon approach for most retail spaces. The raw, rugged texture of the stone oreates a compelling tension with therefined. Meanwhile, a 27-meter-long beige drape was installed along the gallery route. Bathed in light, it emits a soft warmth, infusing the hard-material environment with a touch of softness and breathability.

In the guest rest area, we curated a mix of seating options-combining leatherarmchairs and fabric-upholstered sofas. The coffee table is uniquely crafted from blackmountain stone, whose rugged, natural texture invites touch and evokes a sense of being in nature. In addition to smaller side tables, a large round table serves as a centralgathering point. Surrounding it, we selected chairs of diverse forms and styles, drawinginspiration from the eclectic seating traditions of European courts. This arrangementsymbolizes the distinct identities and personalities of the guests.
