théATRE / TEA PASTRY 03
2021
The pastry shop in the former French Concession area of Shanghai, is located inside an original brick building from the early XX century, which has been recently renovated. The layout of the project is organized around the bar, which is characterized by light blue delicate colors and an extremely simple and very sculptural massive shape. Patterned tiles enhance the central position of the bar surrounding it like a precious carpet. Existing structural concrete pillars and beams are kept exposed and offer a neutral background for the light blue painted custom-made benches made of full iron plates, and the lattice iron rods structure on ceiling which is rhyming the space providing support for the lighting system.
