Frenchette Bakery at the Whitney: a welcoming, design-led public space
Asked about the task to conceptualise the Whitney’s F&B element, the studio’s partner and creative director Jonathan Garnett said: ‘We see projects such as Frenchette at the Whitney as critical parts of the effort to break down potential barriers to entry for cultural institutions, creating a welcoming space for the institution to feel accessible beyond the strengths of its collection and exhibitions. At the core of hospitality is its capacity to make institutions less precious and opaque, stripping down mannerisms and etiquette that are alienating for many and instead offering a place for people to simply gather.
‘It was especially sensible for this space to exist not only on the perimeter of the museum, but at the main entry. That location was an important opportunity to leverage, and we sought to modify the space’s existing conditions for optimal communal gain: through amplifying transparency, atmosphere, and fostering a warm sense of gathering.’
The interior features a custom-designed, cantilevered 70ft-long wood lantern that spans the space’s northern length illuminating from within Piano’s glazed façade. A sense of transparency, underscored by honesty in material use (materials include metal, concrete, steel and glass) dominate.
Meanwhile, ‘Johnson’s piece equally helped dissolve the building’s glass enclosure. By unapologetically cutting through the glass, guests can engage with the artwork before even stepping into the museum proper,’ adds Garnett.
‘Poetry is a vehicle for the exploration of critical concerns, aesthetics, and the romantic,’ said Johnson. ‘It is a mode that acts as a mirror of all other mediums. I consider this sculpture to be a poem.’
‘Our approach and process prioritises the needs and aspirations of the chef and their team. For us, a good design is one that works just as well for the primary users of space as it does for those who support them. Here, we wanted to display all aspects of the bakery, including what is normally back of house. With our service stations and host stand being crafted with the same wood and detail as the rest of the space, while being on display alongside the kitchen, we aim to expose the idea of craft at a person-to-person moment,’ continues Garnett.
‘When Frenchette specifically came into the mix, we asked ourselves what enhances the display of gorgeous breads and baked goods, and pursued maple and pale woods to carry the bakery atmosphere through the space, complemented by a rich suede in a rusted red hue that envelops the bench seating and base of the bar that runs the length of the restaurant. We wanted our materials and colors to foster a dialogue between Frenchette and Johnson’s art, ultimately allowing both elements to emerge organically as one cohesive environment.’
In addition to the ground-floor restaurant, the team behind Frenchette will soon be working on a new concept for the museum’s eighth-floor café space. Conceived as a bar, this is set to open in 2024, and plans include a contribution from artist Dyani White Hawk.
