Bakery front with tall glazing

Milan, Italy

Farini Bakery

The brief asked for premises that would work at once as a gallery for bread, a stage for bakers and a gathering place for customers, with spaces able to meet the very different demands of curation and choreography.

The result is a series of refined backdrops for people and objects, their richness coming from details of form, texture, pattern and the fall of light. At the heart of the design is a recognisable language of materials and moves, a signature curve and a careful play of recessed and projecting elements, that responds to this site while being able to adapt to future locations.

The design team for the project included Max Gleeson.
