Custom order for a French Bakery.

A nostalgic reflection, this blends two contrasting emotions that I associate closely. The first evokes the timeless allure of a traditional carousel, transporting you to a different realm when you step inside. The second mirrors the excitement of entering a patisserie, where delectable edible artworks beckon enticingly from behind glass windows, triggering a mouthwatering response.

My aim was to craft an object capable of rekindling those emotions of anticipation, even in adulthood, when confronted with something delectable. Thus, I envisioned a miniature world encapsulating the charm of both experiences. This led me to create a unique space for these petite confections, akin to an inner sanctum, reminiscent of observing artworks in a museum that beckon touch but remain untouchable.

Each window serves as a canvas, presenting a distinct visual narrative. It's as though entering another realm exclusively reserved for cupcakes, with each one perched on its own pedestal, resembling a miniature forest. Here, every tiny creation can be admired individually or as part of a harmonious ensemble from an external perspective.
