However, they share the same formal language, with bolder colour -bright yellow and blue-and with softer lines and warmer materials like oak and padded furniture. These two areas are entirely different from each other, responding to the diverse needs of customers. This is where the Buttercup blooms, whereas the two small rooms on either side represent the leaves. To facilitate this work as much as possible, the lines here are clean and geometric, all the materials-the ceiling-mounted stainless steel shelves, the glazing and the geometrically patterned floor tiling-are polished to a mirror finish and meet all health and hygiene requirements. When you enter, you’re faced with the large, central counter, and you can see through to where all the cake-making happens.
#BUTTERCUP COFFEE SHOP WINDOWS#
Indeed, the venue shows a clear distinction, visible from the exterior, where three large windows overlook the small square.
So, like flowers stemming from a seed that is the purest expression of all the beauty that follows, the interior design project by architect Anna Sabrià and interior designer Jordi Ginabreda also plays on this dual aspect. At the same time, the new addition is intent on making a name for itself as the go-to place for exclusive cakes, which gourmets can enjoy in a friendly, trendy environment that still manages to blend into the urban context of the Barri Vel, where visitors who venture behind the traditional homes on the Onyar River are treated to the delights of an architectural heritage ranging from Romanesque through to Baroque. So, the name of the coffee shop riffs off the restaurant’s botanical name. The venue is a spin-off of the renowned “Les Magnòlies” Michelin-starred restaurant, a local taste-tempting icon. This simple, highly recognisable flower is also the name of a small cake and coffee shop on the ground floor of an old building in the historical district of Girona, a Catalan town located about thirty kilometres from the Costa Brava. Buttercup-the yellow flower that children like to shine under the chin to test whether their friends like butter-is a shade brighter than “Illuminating”, one of Pantone’s two colours of the year for 2021.
