Italy’s favourite frozen dessert served up by the ever suave Gelato Gatto (that’s cat in Italian btw). Oh but it gets better, the speciality of this place is a very traditional Italian layered ice cream cake called Spumoni…..featuring a layer of pistachio, chocolate and a zesty layer of gelato with chopped and candied fruit mixed in. Available as a slice or impressive coupe. Grab a booth and get your order in!
Raspberry pink, pistachio green, chocolate brown, cherry red, and the soft warm cream of terrazzo stone – these are the colours that set the tone for this print, and together they read as a warm, vintage-sweet palette with rosy undertones throughout. Wall colours in a muted dusty rose or a warm off-white with a pink or cream undertone will sit harmoniously alongside those dominant hues, pulling the raspberry and pistachio forward without competing. For a bolder scheme, a deep chocolate or mocha wall provides a near-complementary contrast to the pistachio green and lets the cherry reds sing. Cooler or grey-toned neutrals are best avoided here – the palette is unambiguously warm, and a cool white will flatten it. The print belongs naturally in a kitchen, a dining room, or a breakfast nook, where its subject matter – a gelato sundae, a slice of spumoni, two spoons – does exactly what it promises: slows the room down and makes it feel like somewhere worth lingering. It suits a retro-diner interior, a maximalist eclectic space, a mid-century modern home that welcomes colour, or a playful vintage-Italian aesthetic. Part of the Hôtel Dodo collection – an imaginary resort built on retro holiday nostalgia and "nothing to do, nowhere to go" calm – it pairs beautifully with other prints from the collection for a gallery wall that transports a room entirely. It would make a genuinely lovely gift for anyone who takes their gelato seriously.
Printed with 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, meaning it reads clearly in both natural and artificial light and suits everything from a slim profile frame to an ornate gilded vintage one. The A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) and A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) sizes are well suited to shelf displays, a kitchen ledge, or a tightly arranged gallery wall; the A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) holds its own as a standalone piece above a sideboard or in a dining alcove; and the A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) and A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm) sizes have the presence to anchor a full wall, filling a dining room or kitchen with that unhurried, sun-soaked holiday mood the collection is built around. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame required.
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.
