recognizable by their playful yet sophisticated design concept
and inspired colour scheme, the interiors for the Marmalade Toast brand of
cafes are
the work of designer Albano Daminato. Whilst clearly from the same
stable
as her older siblings by the same designer, Pierside Kitchen + Bar,
and
The Marmalade Pantry, Marmalade Toast is the witty younger sister.
Creating an environment wrapped in milky baby pink tiles, the interiors
are inspired by pastel coloured cake frosting and 1950's kitchen
melamine
colours - these provide a perfect foil for architectural elements,
benches
and thick table tops finished in dark brown walnut timber, another
culinary
reference, this time to chocolate cake and fudge.
Expanses of white European marble are inspired by classic pastry
making
slabs and these are juxtaposed against large clear glass display
cases
housing a range of cookies, cakes, pastries, salads , sandwiches
and
soups.
The marshmallow white forms of the classic Charles & Ray Eames'
designed shell chairs provide loose seating throughout the Marmalade Toast
cafes
and are
clear design punctuation marks in the all pink interiors.
Panels of reflective mirror and extensive use of stainless steel
within
display counter kitchens, dramatic and clear lineal planning, along
with
a very strong design concept, are the trademarks of the interior
designer
and are pivotal elements in all of the Marmalade Toast outlets. Working closely
with
the graphic designers, the Marmalade Toast logo was taken and reapplied as
a
wallpaper design, and where required, applied on glass facades to
the
outlets providing semi transparent shielding to views inside and
out - also
providing yet another recognizable branding image for the cafes
wherever
they appear. |
