Article source: ideo arquitectura This project consists of a new design of a third bakery in Madrid which makes bread and cakes. The client believes that every bakery should be unique and different to the other ones and the only specific design request is the use of their coorporate color, the magenta.

As soon as we demolished the internal walls and cleaned up the façade, we realised that we didn’t have to invent that much. With their History, the existing brick walls spoke by themselves giving the space a huge personality.

Therefore we created an artistic installation: more than 12.000 wooden magenta sticks that are hanging from the ceiling. This installation attracks everyone’s looks !
