Yang Su's Pierre De Ronsard Baking Shop

Yang Su's Pierre De Ronsard baking shop is a unique retail space designed to showcase the baking process and desserts while creating a special atmosphere that extends the possibilities of shop design. The shop, covering a total of 110 square meters, is located in Wuxi and was completed in November 2010. The design concept draws inspiration from the well-known Eden Rosegem and the romantic metaphor of flowers used by the modern French poet Pierre De Ronsard.

The space features laminated metal sheets of various heights, serving as both displays and interactive installations for customers. The design focuses on creating a spatial feature that establishes a special atmosphere, connecting the internal and external space with physical dissolution and fusion. The concept of ambiguous boundary is realized through a perforated curved wall with ivory paint near the main entrance, responding with gradually varied spacing of holes.

Yang Su, along with Fengshuai Zhang, Daoxiang Gong, and Hai Wang, overcame the challenge of the site facing the inner street of a shopping mall by replacing the interface with body blocks, achieving an ambiguous boundary of space through minimalist design. The design creates a multi-dimensional extension and intersection, defining pedestrian circulation with unobstructed lines of sight in all directions.
