Behind the bar counter of the bakery store, a row of symmetrical arched niches has been created on the wall. The golden metal arch frames are like custom picture frames of artworks, framing each floor of the display area as an independent visual focus. Above the bar counter, a group of arc-shaped brass metal rods extend down from the ceiling, connecting a row of white spherical chandeliers. The flowing arcs perfectly echo the arched walls, instantly giving the entire operation area a luxurious feel like an art installation. Even the partitions in the dining area, the Outlines of display cabinets, and the decorative lines on the walls.
Arched element
The application of arched elements is by no means a simple aesthetic decoration: on the one hand, arches inherently carry a retro and elegant charm, perfectly aligning with the positioning of high-end bakeries and directly distinguishing them from the uniform industrial style and popular Instagram style small stores on the market.
On the other hand, the continuous arched structure naturally has the function of guiding the line of sight, enabling customers to focus their attention on the bar counter and product display area as soon as they enter the store, and strengthening the consumption flow. Meanwhile, the soft arched lines neutralize the cold and hard feeling of marble and metal in the space, making the entire space luxurious yet warm, and more suitable for customers to stay, socialize and relax.
Bar counter design
The countertop of the bar counter is made of large-sized stones. The light grey natural texture is warm and elegant. It is not only dirt-resistant and easy to clean, but also perfectly matches the warm tones of baked goods, presenting the best visual effect for bread and coffee on the countertop. The bar counter facade adopts vertical grille wood veneer. This vertical texture visually stretches the height of the bar counter, making the entire space appear more spacious.
At the same time, the warm brown wood color neutralizes the coldness of the marble, infusing the space with a warm and lively atmosphere. The brass metal edge at the bottom of the bar counter is the finishing touch of the entire design. The delicate golden lines not only enhance the outline of the bar counter but also form a material echo with the arched metal frame and spherical chandelier above, allowing a sense of light luxury to run through the entire space and exuding a sense of sophistication in the details.
Arc-shaped design
The bar counter adopts an arc-shaped design. The ingenuity of this design lies in the following aspects: on the one hand, the arc-shaped bar counter can naturally guide the flow of customers, avoid queuing congestion, and significantly improve the efficiency of ordering. On the other hand, the arc-shaped operation area is more ergonomic, allowing the staff to move more smoothly when making coffee and packing products, improving service efficiency and reducing customers' waiting time.
Functional zoning
On the side close to the customers, a transparent glass bread display cabinet is set up. Under the warm light, the baked goods are clearly visible, immediately stimulating the customers' desire to purchase. The middle area is the coffee operation zone, where coffee machines, syrup bottles, cups and other tools are neatly arranged. This not only facilitates the operation of the staff but also enables customers to directly observe the coffee-making process, enhancing the sense of interaction and trust. At the end of the bar counter is the cashier area, where POS machines, payment terminals and other devices are integrated on the countertop. The flow is smooth and does not affect the overall aesthetics at all.
Display and Shelves
The arched niche behind the bar counter has been transformed into a full-length immersive display wall: each arched interior is equipped with multiple layers of shelves, embedded with LED light strips, which orderly display cups, tableware, baking packaging, coffee beans and other peripheral products. The warm lighting makes each product look like an exhibit in an exhibition hall. At the bottom of each arch, the designer also reserved circular green plant areas. The vivid green plants not only neutralize the cold and hard feeling of the space but also make the entire display wall full of vitality. Each green plant area is also decorated with the JW brand logo, which not only beautifies the space but also strengthens the brand memory.
The advantage of this design lies in that it not only makes full use of the wall space, increasing the storage and display functions, but also makes the display wall highly artistic through the arched structure, without looking messy. Meanwhile, the hierarchical display method enables customers to clearly see the brand's peripheral products, significantly increasing the probability of cross-selling.
Vertical bread display cabinet: Located at the end of the bar counter, it features a glass door and warm light layered design, clearly showcasing products such as bread and European-style bread. Customers can directly observe the freshness and texture of the products, immediately stimulating their desire to purchase.
Refrigerated display cabinet: Set on the side wall of the space, with a glass door design, it displays beverages, wine bottles and other products inside. An arched green plant wall is also created above the cold cabinet, making it no longer a cold device but a decorative element of the space.
Central display stand: At the entrance of the dining area, a circular marble display stand is set up, featuring a bread display area with a glass cover and a packaging product display area below. It is also complemented by spherical pendant lamps and green plants of the same style as the bar counter, becoming the visual focus of the dining area and naturally guiding customers into it.
Ambient light strip
The interior of the bar counter's facade grille is embedded with ambient light strips. Warm yellow light seeps through the wooden grille, not only creating a cozy atmosphere at night but also visually enhancing the bar counter's layering, making the entire operation area the luminous focus of the space. On the outside of the bar counter, brass handrails are also set up, which not only serve a protective function but also become decorative elements of the space, perfectly unifying with the overall design style. The meticulous consideration in the details fully demonstrates professionalism.
Dining area
The arc-shaped wooden grille partition divides the semi-private dining space. Ambient lights are embedded inside the partition, which not only ensures the privacy of dining but also does not completely enclose the space, making the entire dining area transparent and comfortable. The seats feature two contrasting color designs: beige pleated soft-padded chairs paired with golden legs, presenting a gentle and sophisticated look. The green velvet chair paired with black legs, the vivid colors enhance the vitality of the space. The combination of the two types of seats gives the dining area a sense of unity.
