The interior of the shop is predominated by white and features chocolate-colored furniture. The project involved re-orientating the layout to face a covered walkway alongside the shop. The renovation optimizes its location by reorienting itself around its corner to the covered passageway with outdoor café seating.
An inviting café bar flooded with light, as well as the arrangement of the glass sales cabinet, the counter, the furnishings, and the bright colors, create a new openness to the street and the covered passageway. Although the space is small, the renovation creates a spacious, yet intimate atmosphere with the use of reflection and color.
As typical of chocolate shops, the white color of the shop creates a light and spacious feel that is balanced by chocolate-colored furniture. Additionally, the offsetting mirror system embedded into the main wall reflects diagonally to create perceptive depth and complexity.
Confiserie Bachmann is Basel’s most traditional and most famous chocolate manufacturer, specializing in high-quality sweets.
