Renewed identity

Warmer, more contemporary, and functional spaces for the new outlets of the California Bakery chain, a symbol of American culinary culture, designed to welcome customers at any time of day

The new California Bakery locations in Milan – on Via Larga (140 sqm) and Corso Garibaldi (160 sqm) – are the result of a project by the Milanese studio Facta Studio (artistic direction), with execution entrusted to DN Service. The restyling aimed to refresh the brand’s identity, making the spaces more contemporary and functional to accommodate customers from brunch to aperitif.

The flooring features the Ciro collection from the Alpha Vinyl range of rigid vinyl floors by Quick-Step. These are characterized by a herringbone configuration and are suitable for high-traffic environments due to their superior resistance to wear, water, and impact, high sound absorption capacity, effective absorption of dropped objects, and reduced thickness. The Unizip system simplifies herringbone installation, cutting down on both time and waste, as each plank can be used on both sides.
