The design is shaped by deliberate restraint. Steering clear of pastel palettes and nostalgic tropes, we looked instead to traditional Italian gelaterias, reinterpreting them through a rich palette of deep burgundy and burnt peach. The result is a simple yet layered interior that feels both unexpected and memorable.

A central viewing window anchors the space, connecting guests directly to Marco and his process. Burgundy cabinetry grounds the counter, set against lavanto rossa marble and robust vinyl in careful tension. Handcrafted floor tiles trace playful geometries, while toffee-swirled pendant lights offer a subtle homage to the product itself. Gelato takes centre stage - rich, colourful, and presented as art.
