Last year Studio Marcus Hay
was approached to design a very special set for Williams Sonoma, It was to be a
French Patisserie designed especially for the Holiday Season. Built in San
Francisco ahead of time by the very clever Brett Bachtle. Studio Marcus Hay had
team members on both coasts sourcing necessary elements needed for the set to
come to life.
It was William Sonoma’s
wishes that the set felt like an authentic European café that would house
largely their Bundt cakes made from their seasonal and classic bundt pans (that
are actually of Austrian origin) and cookies made from their seasonal cookie
cutters.
The palette was to be mint,
gray and white with a reclaimed pressed metal wall and open shelves. Brett
helped design an amazing movable counter in mint with a white marble top that
could be moved around on any part of the set.
The floor was painted in
Harlequin squares and we sourced authentic tiles to feature in a custom-made
shop window ledge. Working within a molded wall, the window was an older window
sourced at a local salvage yard. We had designed by the graphics department a
transfer sign that could be read on the window.
We had an amazing team and
these shots were photographed by the wonderful Peden + Munk. The ever charming
Philippa Brathwaite styled out our designed set and Food Stylist extraordinaire
Alison Attenborough made all the cakes and helped prop out the set as a whole
to make it look like an authentic space.
Of course like many sets
that appear in film, only segments of it was ever seen but it helped create the
scene for some amazing shots, here you can see it in it’s entirety.
Hope you enjoy seeing some
of the behind the scenes pictures of this beautiful set.
