Cukiernia - The

Pastry Shop With

Walls Covered in

Eggshell Plaster

L'viv, Ukraine

his project, by YOD Group, involves the transformation of an
iconic Lviv pastry shop that has been in existence since 2000.
TCukiernia is located on the first floor of a historic building in
central Lviv. The venue is popular among locals and well-known to
tourists, attracted by the discreet aristocracy of the presentation, and
the exceptional quality of the intricate confectionery made according
to old recipes.

Work on the project began with a search for new meanings and
symbols for Cukiernia. It was important not only to update the design,
but also to rethink the general concept and to boost the iconic brand
with fresh energy. At the same time, it was important to preserve the
DNA of the place, delicately defining the continuity of tradition as
one of its core values.

Materials
The main approach in this project has been to work with
monomaterials and to play with nuances. The interior combines two
key materials and several auxiliary ones. The main ones are marble
and a unique eggshell plaster, with light wood and noble brass being
the supportive ones.
