Tartelette Bakery & Café is a small boulangerie, pâtisserie and café in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada offering a variety of classic French pastries and other baked goods infused with Persian influence, mirroring the story of its owner: a French Pastry Chef with Persian heritage. The design for Tartelette aimed to honour and celebrate that story.
Drawing inspiration from smaller Parisian cafés not only dovetailed conceptually with this goal in terms of a direct and typological French influence, but also assisted and informed the functional challenge of cultivating a sense of intimacy rather than constraint within the parameters of a small space.
Persian references take the form of a large wall mural depicting a woman’s portrait painted onto Persian tapestry—an enlarged reproduction of a piece by French artist Mateo Humano—and laser cut metal panels displaying a custom geometric pattern, which adorn the faces of the service counter and refrigerated displays—a nod to the prevalence of geometric patterns in Persian architecture.
The panels are bathed in the same turquoise colour that predominates the service area. Custom powder coated espresso machine components and specially selected turquoise glass aggregate embedded into custom white concrete countertops reinforce its impact.
A rope canopy gracefully hovers over the seating area, creating an inviting and comforting sense of enclosure. Below, a triangular planter box filled with pilea aquamarine and peperomia ‘frost’ (selected for their silver-blue-toned leaves) is partially framed by a slender divider panel wrapped in salt-patinated copper on its front. White cylindrical pendants and track lighting harmonize with white chairs and white-framed custom tables, contrasting with the walnut tones of the millwork, flooring, shelving, and tabletops.
