CASE STUDY
capability of the solid surface material made it possible to design a service counter with soft, ergonomic curves, which allows for a harmonious, organic effect and makes the exquisite products of Rodríguez Guerola and Jarquín seem even more inviting.
This impressive renovation, together with refreshed lighting and the visibility of the display cases from the street, makes La Pastisseria irresistibly attractive to passers-by, who can’ t help but stop and admire the mouthwatering pastries on show.
The choice of HIMACS Solid Surface for this project was clear when considering the need for a material that can combine aesthetic impact with functional cleanliness, while also being resistant and durable, including for outdoor applications. The flawless finish of HIMACS, with no visible joints, adds to the sense of sleek perfection, offsetting the wares of these masterful artisans to stunning effect.
“ For us, it was essential that the new shop reflected the values of our brand: care and respect for signature patisserie. The wow effect achieved with the new image not only is a dream come true, but it also creates an experience that magnifies our dedication and love for the art of making pastries”, explains Josep Maria Rodríguez Guerola, World Pastry Champion and coowner of La Pastisseria.
The result is an ideal balance between warmth and elegance creating a pleasant and relaxed ambience in which customers can indulge in a sweet treat, an aromatic cup of coffee, a glass of bubbly or a melt-inthe-mouth, freshly-baked croissant … the temptations at La Pastisseria Barcelona are endless.
Materials allowing for impeccable hygiene and design The materials chosen for the project not only comply with strict sanitary regulations in terms of food handling but also allow for easy cleaning – essential in a high traffic, public-facing environment.
The robust versatility of HIMACS has been employed to beautiful effect in aesthetically connecting the exterior and the interior of the establishment, where it has been applied to both the façade and the service counters, the cash register desk, the display shelves behind the counter and the tops of the tasting tables. Each installation was meticulously fabricated by Articryl, a renowned specialist in solid surface materials in Spain and a member of the Quality Club network of HIMACS-approved workshops.
