Sweet and citrus zesty – it’s Daiquiri Dreams. A spontaneous day time trip in the Hôtel Dodo universe to seek out the freshest most strawberriest of cocktails. Served up in sumptuous pink and red setting of stripes and embroidery.
Strawberry red, coral pink, warm cream, dusty rose, and soft orange-red set the temperature of this print – a thoroughly warm, sun-blushed palette with not a cool tone in sight. Walls in terracotta, warm blush, or a creamy off-white with a peachy undertone sit harmoniously alongside it, drawing out the analogous hues already at play in the chequered tablecloth and painted backdrop. For a more grounded pairing, a warm taupe or soft clay acts as a neutral that steadies the energy without contradicting the print’s warmth; anyone feeling bolder might try a deep brick or burgundy-red, which mirrors the saturated strawberry tones and gives the whole scene real presence. The mood is unhurried and indulgent – a still life rendered in retro holiday light – which makes it a natural fit for maximalist, vintage-eclectic, café-inspired, and cottagecore interiors. A kitchen or dining room is the obvious home, particularly above a sideboard, on a shelf beside glassware, or as a focal point above a breakfast nook where the subject matter feels genuinely at ease. It belongs to the Hôtel Dodo collection, an imaginary resort built around retro holiday nostalgia and "nothing to do, nowhere to go" joyous calm; grouped with other prints from the collection it makes an effortlessly curated gallery wall that sustains that sun-soaked, poolside mood. It would make a considered gift for anyone who takes their summer entertaining seriously, or who simply believes a cocktail hour deserves its own atmosphere.
Printed using archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag®, a museum-grade cotton paper with a subtle felt texture, the surface is fully matte and glare-free, so the warm pinks and reds read true whether the room is lit by afternoon sun or evening lamplight – and that matte finish suits both slim modern frames and ornate vintage ones with equal ease. At A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) or A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) it slips neatly onto a shelf, a mantelpiece, or into a gallery arrangement; A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) holds its own as a standalone piece above a kitchen counter or bar trolley; A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) commands a dining room wall with confidence; and at A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm) it becomes a room-defining statement, large enough to set the entire colour story of a space. This print is also available as a ready-to-hang canvas print measuring 28 × 40 inches (70 × 100 cm), which requires no frame.
Hôtel Dodo is a place, or better a tiny universe, that exists in my head allowing me to mind travel. Not dissimilar to the concept of a mind palace that makes remembering things easier.
My little universe is all about moments of calm, appreciating the little things, sun soaked lazy holiday lunches, beautifully curated table settings, and overall that “nothing to do, nowhere to go” energy.
Each setting invites the viewer to take a seat and the table, focus on the calm before them and be transported elsewhere for a little while.
