In December 2022, Joost Arijs opened 'The Bakery' next to his viennoiserie on Vlaanderenstraat in Ghent, Belgium. For (interior) architecture, the award-winning chocolatier engaged the internationally renowned architect Glenn Sestig.

The two Belgians found each other in a functionalist, minimalist design with a leading role for the product and a visible baker's studio.

A terrazzo floor and details in natural stone were brought together with a counter in brushed stainless steel and bread shelves in walnut.
