Baguette & Co is a French boulangerie and cafe in Yerevan, Armenia. The concept of the design was to create a minimalist and welcoming space without any French style elements in order to allow the French food to steal the show and do the talking. As you enter the cafe the first thing you see are the delectable pastries. The layout of the cafe is simple, the design is unique, and the smell of freshly baked croissants is alluring. All of these factors play a symphony together and create an environment that is addicting.
All the wiring is exposed on the ceiling and walls. The general design elements are the stained glass partitions, the blue colored wall and big round ceiling lamps that have yellow colored lighting which helps create a warmer atmosphere. We aimed at creating a design that would be simple yet welcoming. The design of the cafe does not force an environment on others, rather it creates a canvas that facilitates the growth of an organic environment that is authentic and completely developed by the users of the space.
