Croissant cafe 2

Croissant is the most famous pastry shop in Kaliningrad, or rather, a network of pastry shops. The architects were tasked with reflecting the French style and the brand of the network in the interior. The color palette of the interior is warm, golden, and caramel. The colors are associated with the bread baked in these establishments. Warm 2700 and 2400 lamps create a cozy atmosphere, and narrow lenses in the spotlights provide intimacy in a densely seated space. Structurally, the layout of the premises was divided into two zones by a load-bearing wall. This allowed us to introduce two dynamic zones into the cafe's concept: a daytime area with natural light and a more private evening area with artificial local lighting.

Two functional zones are placed on the central axis: a semi-circular pastry display case near the entrance, where you can order take away and see the variety of desserts upon entering, and, on the other side, a mirrored bar where the barista and bartender work.

An important task was to use classical design techniques associated with a typical French cafe: armchairs with rattan and an interesting pattern in textiles, vintage chairs with velvet upholstery, buffets with antique glass, an interesting mosaic on the floor with a welcoming word at the entrance, painted ceilings, and a glass entrance arch. The use of natural materials and no imitations allows the interior to age "beautifully" and "truthfully." This cafe has truly become a "delicious" and "Instagrammable" place for residents and guests of the city. The owner and designer are convinced that the interior will remain relevant for many years to come.
