Hold on to your cherry toppings, it’s Fat Finch Soda. A vintage diner style kinda hangout serving the finest retro ice cream floats and desserts. All with a fat bullfinch as mascot who loves to steal your cocktail cherry.
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.

Warm terracotta orange and cherry red anchor this print’s palette, tempered by soft blush pink, slate blue-grey, cobalt blue, and cream – a combination that reads as retro-warm with cool accents threaded through. Walls in a dusty peachy-coral or a warm off-white will echo the blush tones in the tablecloth without competing with the soda bottle’s vivid amber, while a deep teal or dark slate-blue – drawn from the bird’s wing and the checked pattern – works beautifully as a contrasting feature wall, giving the whole composition somewhere to pop. On naturally neutral walls, lean towards creams with a pink or yellow undertone rather than a grey-white, since the print’s temperature is fundamentally warm and a cool white will flatten it. The styles this print genuinely suits are maximalist retro-diner, eclectic vintage, mid-century modern, and playful contemporary – spaces that are comfortable being fun. In a kitchen or dining room it feels entirely at home; in a café-corner breakfast nook or a bar cart alcove it is particularly spot-on. Part of the Hôtel Dodo collection – an imaginary resort built on retro holiday nostalgia and that glorious "nothing to do, nowhere to go" energy – Fat Finch Soda pairs naturally with other prints from the collection for a sun-soaked gallery wall. It makes a considered gift for anyone who still thinks a sundae glass and a soda siphon are the height of sophistication, which is to say, people with excellent taste.
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, which means it reads just as well under overhead kitchen lighting as it does in a softly lit sitting room, and suits everything from a slim brushed-brass frame to an ornate vintage white one. At A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) or A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) it slots neatly onto a shelf or into a tiled gallery arrangement; A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) holds its own as a standalone piece above a sideboard or beside open shelving; and at A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) or A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm) the composition has the scale to anchor a dining room wall with real confidence, the bird and the soda bottle filling the space with easy, unhurried charm. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame needed.
