After the successful project at the Szihn branch in Siebenhirten, the second bakery of this renowned Viennese family business has now been redesigned.

Herringbone Floor \u2013 Warmth and Elegance<\/h2>\n\n

As in the first project, the floor here was also laid in the classic herringbone pattern,<\/strong> adding both dynamism and a special elegance to the space. Hand-molded terracotta tiles<\/strong> bring natural color nuances and textures, giving every surface warmth and authenticity. The atmosphere masterfully combines modern and rustic elements \u2013 modern in harmony with Vienna\u2019s urban trends, rustic as a symbol of tradition and craftsmanship that Szihn Bakery proudly preserves. <\/p>\n\n

Sales Counter with Terracotta Slabs<\/h2>\n\n

A special highlight of this branch is the sales counter<\/strong>, clad with large terracotta slabs. Their artisanal production and natural surface add a rustic accent to the sales area and emphasize the unique character of the space. Together with the floor, they create a harmonious overall design that demonstrates how versatile terracotta<\/strong> can be \u2013 both functional and aesthetic. <\/p>\n\n

Tradition, Sustainability and Craftsmanship<\/h2>\n\n

Our Cotto Rustic terracotta tiles<\/strong> are made exclusively from two natural raw materials \u2013 clay and water. They are fully recyclable and handcrafted using traditional methods. This makes them a perfect match for the philosophy of Szihn Bakery, which has stood for quality, craftsmanship, and consistency for decades. <\/p>\n\n

A Common Thread Across All 12 Branches<\/h2>\n\n

This second branch shows how well terracotta<\/strong> works as a central design element. Szihn plans to renovate a total of 12 locations across Vienna \u2013 with terracotta becoming the common thread that makes each bakery unique while visibly conveying the brand\u2019s core values: tradition, authenticity, and a love of craftsmanship. <\/p>\n\n
