A furnishing system designed to dialogue with the architecture of the space, where bread and baked goods become the true protagonists of the room. Essential lines, balanced volumes, and refined finishes shape a bakery that is coherent, functional, and scenographic: an environment where the tradition of artisanal baking meets the language of contemporary design.
The counter enhances products with elegance and brightness, while the back counter — warm and textural — conveys the authenticity of artisanal craftsmanship. Together, they define a welcoming and recognisable retail space, designed to accompany every moment of service with order and style.
The modularity of its elements, the meticulous finishes, and the options for colour and material customisation make it a flexible design tool, conceived to respond coherently to the functional and scenographic needs of the modern bakery.
Key features
Modular design and geometric structure
The EDGE configuration is the boldest and most geometric expression of the system: staggered panels and sharp angles define a solid, contemporary structure, ideal for environments with a strong character. A furnishing solution that expresses formal rigour without sacrificing attention to detail and visual appeal. The modularity of its elements makes it possible to compose a tailor-made bakery counter for any retail layout.
Back counter and Genius Skin shelving units
The back counter designed for the bakery combines modular design, unmistakable durability, and impeccable organisation. The Genius Skin shelving units transform the operational backdrop into an orderly and evocative bread display, while the decorative backlit showcases add rhythm and character to the environment. Materials, lighting, and proportions integrate into a refined ensemble, designed to enhance every baked product and every moment of service.
Integrated drop-in display case
The drop-in refrigerated display case integrates seamlessly into the countertop, enhancing the display without interrupting the continuity of the counter. A discreet and refined solution, ideal for those seeking efficiency and product visibility without sacrificing style.
LED lighting
LED lighting — as standard or as an optional configuration on shelves and risers — highlights products and materials. Backlit display cases and risers become scenic backdrops that accompany the bread display with discreet, orderly light.
Finishes and customisation
A wide range of finishes allows the furnishings to be tailored to the identity of the venue:
- “Soft” front panels (lacquered ribbed finish): Bianco Seta, Cipria, Argilla, Tortora, Lampone, Verde Oxy, Fiordaliso, Nero Obsidian, with the option of a RAL colour on request.
- Laminate front panels: Rovere America, Noce Gran Sasso, Olmo Barberino, Yellowstone, Noce Elegance, Antracite, Tequila, Oro Satinato, and further tones.
- Countertops: synthetic marble (Bianco Neve, Grigio Lino, Farnese, Ducale, Mazzanti, Doge, Palladio Griso), optional synthetic quartz (Polar White, Nero Silk, Nero Notte Lucido, Caledonia), or optional Corian (Glacier White).
Details: Oro Lucido or Nero Opaco inserts and a black/silver aluminium profile.
FrigoConnect 4.0 technology and HACCP control
The refrigerated display cases and counters can be equipped with the FrigoConnect 4.0 control and connectivity system: an app for on-line remote management of the counter, with a “push” messaging service and the sending of operating data to a cloud platform. By connecting the device to the network, it is also possible to manage automatic control of critical temperatures (HACCP), optimising the preservation and quality of baked goods.
Sustainability and energy efficiency
A commitment to environmental sustainability translates into eco-friendly choices such as R290 gas and CO₂, with a very low impact on the atmosphere. The products comply with Eco-design and Eco-labelling standards and, in most models, carry the label defining their Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) class.
FAQ
How can STUDIO24 be used to fit out a bakery or bread shop?
STUDIO24 is a modular furnishing system that brings the service counter, back counter and display elements together into a single coordinated composition, adaptable to the layout of bakeries and bread shops. Originally designed as a bar system, it adapts to the bakery by pairing display cases for the products with shelving units for bread. It is made in Italy by Frigomeccanica (Mosciano Sant'Angelo, TE), a company with over 50 years of history and part of the Arneg Group.
Which design lines are available and how do they differ?
STUDIO24 comes in three design lines — Horizon, Zenith and Edge — plus the made-to-measure Edge Custom version. Horizon features symmetrical front panels and continuous curved lines; Zenith pairs a slim upper panel with a more solid base for a vertical proportion; Edge, the most geometric, is defined by staggered panels and sharp angles, suited to spaces with a bold character.
How can I display bread and baked goods on the back counter?
Bread display is handled by the Genius Skin back counter and modular shelving, designed specifically for bakeries. The system combines shelves and mesh baskets on a sturdy, modular structure, keeping loaves, baguettes and packaged goods in full view. The shelves can incorporate LED lighting to enhance the products against the working backdrop.
Which display cases can be paired with the counter?
The STUDIO24 counter pairs with several display cases: the Just, Chic and Voilà models, the integrated Drop-in version and the Totem vertical display cases for the back counter. The Drop-in display case is recessed into the top, keeping the surface continuous, while the Totem units provide a vertical display. The choice depends on how you want to present bread, baked goods and packaged items.
Which finishes are available for the counter front panels?
The front is available in two finish families: “Soft” ribbed lacquered and laminate. The Soft ribbed lacquered range includes Bianco Seta, Lampone, Verde Oxy, Argilla, Nero Obsidian, Cipria, Fiordaliso and Tortora. The laminate range adds, among others, Noce Gran Sasso, Yellowstone, Olmo Barberino, Rovere America, Oro Satinato, Nero and Bianco. For bakeries, the catalogue often shows Soft Bianco Seta with Rovere America.
Which materials are the countertops made of?
The countertops are made of synthetic marble, synthetic quartz or Corian, depending on the level of durability required. Synthetic marble comes in Bianco Neve, Grigio Lino, Farnese, Ducale, Mazzanti, Doge and Palladio Griso; synthetic quartz, harder and more resistant, in Polar White, Nero Silk, Nero Notte Lucido and Caledonia; Corian in the Glacier White shade.
What footprint and dimensions should I plan for the counter and back counter?
The compositions are modular and sized by combining standard elements. The back counter base modules come in widths of 500, 750, 1000, 1250 and 1500 mm, with a back-counter riser base depth of 400, 550 or 652 mm. The risers and shelves for the back counter are available in several types — A, B, C, D, F, G and Alukuadro — and in various lengths, to fit the composition to the retail space.
How can I customise the fit-out to make my shop stand out?
STUDIO24 is customised through its finishes and, with the Edge Custom version, also with refined out-of-catalogue materials for an exclusive result. Beyond the front and top finishes, the lacquered fronts are also available in RAL colours on request. This colour and material customisation lets you match the counter to the bakery's visual identity.
How are energy consumption and product conservation managed in the refrigerated display cases?
Frigomeccanica's refrigerated display cases and counters use very low-impact refrigerants, R290 and CO₂, and comply with eco-design and energy-labelling regulations, with an energy efficiency class (EEI) label on most models. They can also be fitted with the FrigoConnect 4.0 system for remote control and automatic management of critical temperatures (HACCP).
