The historic sweet boutique in Sassuolo

New aesthetic identity for Pasticceria Bar delle Vergini since 1970. The historic sweet boutique in Sassuolo, a meeting place for industrialists linked to the ceramic world since the 1970s, is dotted with creativity and elegance signed by Architect Laura Valentini of Norma Studio. The designer recounts that the concept had as its goal, to celebrate the pastry tradition through a contemporary and original look, combining history and innovation.

The interior design is therefore marked by an ancient elegance, expressed with details and objects of great modernity, such as the retro-style lamps that wink at the 1920s. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and transfers an accent of elegant modernity inside the space. The furniture as a whole was created by the Pesaro-based firm Rossi & Partners.

Inside, 3 distinct areas can be identified: the lounge, the pastry counter and the cafeteria area harmoniously connected by a green boiserie that runs along all the walls of the space. In Cafeteria, the precious peach-colored diamond pyramid ceramic counter and pink marble pouring shelf stand out.

The back counter is designed as a modern green and brass bookcase, with differently modulated spaces, containing everything needed for service. Opposite the bar we find a pink marble shelf for quick tasting and above that again a pastel green shelving unit that holds the fine bottles on display lit from below. All creating an important and striking theatrical effect.

The flooring, made of soft dark green resin, creates a promenade with a pleasant visual contrast to the peach-colored walls and has patterned wallpaper as a backdrop. The space is embellished with design elements: wall lamps by Pablo, hanging lamps by Atelier Areti and Sklum chairs.

Thus, the bakery becomes a place to be. Bar delle Vergini a truly unique environment for all hours of the day.
