Treat Cupcake Bar Brightens Space with Pink and Yellow Durat

C & J Katz Studio, the designers for the newly opened Treat Cupcake Bar in Needham, MA, used Durat sheet goods in the shop’s design. Jeffrey Katz told CaraGreen that “the shop is aimed at ‘tween' customers, so the idea was to create a bright, happy interior space.” They established a color palette for the interior based on graphics developed by Treat’s graphic design firm.

Katz said, “As we were researching materials, we found a couple of the unusual  colors that we were looking for in the Durat range.” Durat is available in over 80 colors and custom colors are also available. The colors have an intensity and vibrancy to them that make Durat ideal for delivering a punch of color to a space.

At Treat Cupcake Bar, customers can create their own cupcake by selecting the cake flavor, frosting, and toppings. They mix the toppings into the frosting and Katz told us that the other requirement for the material was that it needed to function for the mix-ins, which are prepared directly on the counter in view of the customer. They "ordered a large sample and sent it to the baker so she could test the surface. It worked. So the combination of color, functionality, and durability lead us to specify Durat,” said Katz. Durat was used for work surfaces, a built-in along the window, and to frame the cupcake display. Katz said the response to the store has been excellent, both to the cupcakes and  the design of the space.
