A collaboration between acclaimed British designer Jasper Morrison and the Huguet tile company has resulted in Can Pa, a charming bakery in Palma de Mallorca.
With its simple red-and-white striped awning and distinctive oval window set into its façade, this tiny bakery tucked away in Palma de Mallorca ’s El Terreno neighbourhood has more than a touch of Wes Anderson charm about it.
Named 'Can Pa' – meaning 'house of bread' – it is the result of a special collaboration between celebrated British designer Jasper Morrison and Biel Huguet, third generation owner of Huguet, a family-run tile company, which has been manufacturing hydraulic tiles on the island since 1933. 'Jasper Morrison is one of those fantastic personalities we are fortunate to welcome frequently to our island,' smiles Biel Huguet. 'From the very beginning of this project, a close collaboration was established, with each party bringing the best of their expertise to the table. His trust in the essence of what we do made this collaboration flow organically.' Designed by Morrison and made by Huguet, the bench and table on the bakery's terrace is designed for easy assembly and disassembly and is 100 per cent recyclable. Inside, visitors are greeted by rows of fresh bread and pastries, displayed behind timber-framed glass on a simple stone counter, while wooden shelves are lined with jars of local jams and olive oil. Underfoot, Morrison specified a perfect grid of classic 25x25 centimetre red tiles, and overhead, the traditional vaulted ceiling is made up of curved clay tiles also produced by Huguet. In his typical punctilious fashion, Morrison designed every last detail of the bakery's interior and exterior, including bespoke furniture for the terrace. The cement bench and table, made locally at Huguet's Campos factory, are designed for easy assembly and disassembly without the need for resins, silicones, or other chemical elements, making them 100 per cent recyclable. Meanwhile the terrazzo logo, designed by renowned Argentinian graphic designer Mario Eskenazi, is built into the wall outside in large lettering made using a traditional technique
