Restyled bakery in Milan

The Callegaro bread shop in Milan features different zones to satisfy different requirements.

The bread zone where one can buy not only bread but also focaccia, pastries and dishes. This long-stretched counter shows simple lines with a wide window that gives a clear view on all the oven products.

For breakfast, aperitifs, coffee and cocktails, one can take a seat at the glossy white bar counter.

And last but not least, to relax and meet with others there is the relax room.

The restyling, done by Costa Group, includes the red tiles on the floor, the wooden walls with pipes, mirrors, sofas and the lighting. On request of the bakery owners, they gave the shop a lively appearance for every occasion and daytime.

HACKENBROICH ARCHITECTS SHOP

Berlin-based Hackenbroich Architects just finished a hairdressing shop in Cologne.

The light installation has become a main spatial feature in the hairdressing shop in Cologne called Haarwerk. Seventy-five lamps emerge from a central point of the space and reach out into the room. The lights can be controlled and dimmed in five circles to allow a smooth transition of various illuminated conditions.

Here’s some information from the architects themselves:
“The overall organization of the store was challenged by the spatial limitation of the old factory building. To maintain a coherent spatial experience while accommodating all functional areas, we decided to extrude the enclosed functional areas from the back-wall.

The materials fluctuate between a refined and rough appearance. While the wallpaper has a subtle elegance the lamps have an industrial quality. The colours articulate the volumetric logic by continuing the dark grey of the floor or the ginger marking the sidewalls of the store. The lights, when partially dimmed, combine the white of the wallpaper, the ginger of the wall and the dark grey of the floor.”

Diesel Tokyo

Японският архитект Яако Мурата (Ayako Murata), е създател на интериора на магазина на марката Diesel в Токио.
За създаването на арки и колони той не използва нито мрамор, нито тухли, нито гипсокартон, а лампички и стъклени плафони.
Murata създава имитация на архитектурни елементи като нарушава конструкторските правила колона-арка, вместо устойчиви растящи от основи колони, подпиращи арки и сводове, ние виждаме същите, но хванати за тавана.
Оригиналните светещи арки създават в този почти аскетичен интериор атмосфера на тържественост, присъща на готическия стил.
