THE FUSE

Bread crackling, trays clanking, and cutlery clinking as pieces of stainless steel silverware meet their ceramic counterparts. These are some of the sounds emanating from Baker Bleu, Cremorne. Designed by IF Architecture for Melbourne’s cult-favorite bakery, the flagship café transforms the daily ritual of buying a loaf into a spatial narrative about craft, process, and continual refinement. Here, dark-crusted sourdough and still-warm bagels are displayed like sculptural objects, set against an interior that is at once industrial and intimate—precise in its execution, deeply human in sensory experience.
