You know I love some tiny little cafés, those spaces that make the most of not much, though the still have such a robust sense of character. A take-out-only shop for “Canule-dou,” a pastry shop specializing in canelés, CANELE du JAPON sits in a small space that was previously used as a lottery ticket sales booth.
To preserve the Canule-dou brand image and its unique organic and distinct nature, the design integrates these characteristics, using earth as a material for the exterior walls and solid chestnut wood and handcrafted “Kurotani washi” paper by Hatanowataru for the interior. Overall, there’s so much thought and care that went into the shop, it’s a delight to see.
