Details

The client envisaged a high end, refined space which welcomed customers and showcased the skills of the patisserie chefs and chocolatiers. A requirement for custom cold displays for their custom chocolates along with a simple layout which encouraged ease of egress and quick access for purchases were at the forefront of the design.
