Omonia Bakery, New York
Published: Mon, 2011-09-12 07:30This bakery is a brand new project for the family behind the renowned Omonia brand, famous for its Greek pastries. It sells pastries and breads prepared on premises in the see-through kitchen.
The design of this store (located in Queens, New York) celebrates indulgence, the suspension of one’s everyday grind through the consumption of a sweet delight. The space shifts organically with the narrative of flavors as patrons taste the succulent goods.
The main feature of the 1,000 square feet interior space is a fluid surface (clad with ¼” chocolate brown Bisazza tiles) which covers the ceiling and the side walls to different heights. This surface warps in bubbles and negotiates a system of 6-inch tubular incandescent light bulbs.
The kitchen is exhibited to the public, as it sits simply within a tempered glass box. Therefore, the exquisite level of craftsmanship of the project (with its unforgiving alignments and complex details) is paralleled with the refined artisanship of Omonia's pastries.
