Back & Bloom is the edible bakery of the future - a space that bakes and blooms. Vertical gardens of herbs and edible flowers grow on the walls and ceilings, directly integrated into the baking experience. With smart hydroponics, natural materials and a zero-waste cycle, the concept combines sustainability, design and enjoyment to create a sensual, future-proof experience.

Vision: A symbiosis of bakery and indoor garden
- Room concept: walls and ceilings are vertical herb and edible flower gardens (hydroponics). Customers see, smell and experience freshness live.
- Sustainability: Own herbs and flowers are grown in the walls of the building - for breads, teas or as toppings. Zero waste through circular thinking.
- Design: Organic shapes, natural materials such as clay, hempcrete, recycled glass.
- Tech: Sensors to monitor humidity and light; interactive screens show the origin and recipe ideas of the ingredients.
