A Christmas table set with Pain Plaisir breads, pastries and the Anemone box

A pastry that deserved its own name

The Anemone is croissant dough with sugar and vanilla, Pain Plaisir's take on the kouign-amann, folded at four points.

Pain Plaisir wanted it to stand out as a product of its own: on the shelf, in a gift box and on Instagram.

The shape is the logo

The brand icon is a geometric abstraction of the product itself: the four-point fold makes a natural quatrefoil. Neug Asia, with its extreme contrast and teardrop terminals, rhymes with the four rounded lobes.

Photo& Video

We filmed and shot the Anemone the way it should be eaten: torn, bitten, held up to the eyes. Then a Christmas table full of Pain Plaisir.
