Visits to the bakery live in the memory of all Mexicans. With more than 40 years, Mi Pan has reached thousands of families, breaking barriers between generations and baking for everyone. The concept of Mi Pan comes from its heart, its kitchen. There we experience the magic and talent of the bakers who piece by piece shape each loave. Trays are used throughout the bread baking process, to reflect the freshness of the product we incorporate them into the store.

The self-serve layout was key to maintain the original bakery experience. The goal, invite the customers to visit with a loved one and share the experience with them.

The signature use of metallic trays in the design makes it clear that all revolves around the bread and its process. Pine wood boards were used to structure the design and balance the coldness of the metallic trays. The terrazzo floor connects the shop to the many supermarkets that use the same material. To make this one unique the brand’s orange color was integrated to the mix.

The design of Mi Pan focuses on creating community, respecting, and honoring the traditional Mexican bakeries.
