Kanel A Swedish konditori in Greece

( description )

Kanel is a Swedish konditori that brings the essence of Scandinavian baking to Thessaloniki. Established in 2020, the café is inspired by the owner’s deep-rooted connection to Sweden and the cherished tradition of kanelbullar. Our design approach harmonizes Nordic simplicity with the inviting warmth of the Greek landscape, creating an atmosphere that is both cozy and contemporary.

The layout is conceptually divided into two zones: warm and cold. The warm zone, enveloping the bar and preparation area, is painted in a rich, mud-toned terracotta, forming a welcoming “nest” at the heart of the space. The cooler seating area extends as a corridor leading toward this nest, offering a balanced contrast in ambiance.
A custom-designed earth-tone graphic pattern on the walls visually unites both sections, reinforcing a seamless transition between warm and cool tones. Additionally, strategically placed neon quotes provide vibrant, interactive elements that enhance the café’s social appeal, crafting picture-perfect moments for visitors.
