Patisserie is a restaurant interior design inspired by the heritage of Bavaria. Stone walls, wooden furniture and natural materials create a warm setting, while linear elements and a pastel color palette add a contemporary character. A central oven fills the air with the aroma of fresh bread. Textured surfaces, soft traditional melodies and a menu shaped by the same theme engage several senses at once. The plan provides 200 square meters of functional space and about 150 square meters for production. The intent is to connect tradition with modern living.
