The Concrete Blocks at This Bakery Are Made From Empty Sacks of Flour
The walls at this Gowanus restaurant are made from concrete poured into empty bags of flour from the resident bakery. Each block was made from an empty 50-pound bag of King Arthur flour turned into two types of units: One for "baguettes," the larger blocks, and one for "boules of brioche," which are brick-sized. Latent Productions poured and cured 1,000 of the units (which, adorably, they call "belly blocks") to create a wall of bulging concrete along the length of the space.
