Princi bakery
London, 2008
The Princi bakery in London is a significant work of art, marking an important step on Silvestrin’s path as an architect.
The elements that are involved in the making of bread – water, air, earth and fire – are strongly present in this work: the fusion of an abstract sign and the physical nature of materials.
Silvestrin has chosen an unusual mixture of colours: brass panels in a scorched-earth tone for the main desk and walls; slabs of smooth porphyry in a grey/violet tone for the floor; and rough porphyry for the dwarf wall. The result is a tension between the warm tones of materials and the sharp but sensual geometric drawing.
The shop stands out as a new icon for a bakery.
