Paul Lafayet Cafe

Paul Lafayet Cafe

Studio X were appointed to design a new flagship retail store for the patisserie brand Paul Lafayet. The flagship was designed as a testbed for a wider roll-out of their cafe and bakery concept across China.

The space includes an open-plan cake preparation workshop that is visible to customers, providing visual theatre and the aroma of freshly baked goods. This space can also be viewed from the adjacent shopping arcade where passers-by can see the finishing flambé being applied to the creme brûlées.

Subtle use of soft, warm colour tones and natural materials were implemented to appeal to a predominantly female consumer.
