Wordy plays and food puns are just as close to my heart as pistachio. That’s all things pistachio, from the original nut to pastry fillings, and deliciously sweet spreads. This particular brand of nut didn’t take kindly to your roasting and got all salty up in your face. An acquired taste for wordsmiths and lovers of food packaging…
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.

Soft coral-salmon, warm pistachio green, pale sage cream and dusty mint – these are the colours that give this print its sun-baked, slightly cheeky character, all of them warm-toned and gently faded as though bleached by a long afternoon beside the pool. That warm coral undertone means it settles happily against walls painted in terracotta, peach or dusty apricot for a tonal, analogous scheme that feels cohesive and unhurried; for contrast, a muted teal or soft sage wall draws out the green notes without fighting them. If you prefer neutrals, reach for an off-white or warm linen rather than a cool stark white – anything with a cream or biscuit base will honour the print’s warm temperature rather than drain it. By style, this print belongs in a maximalist eclectic interior, a retro or mid-century modern space, a resort or coastal-inspired room, or a playful contemporary kitchen where personality is welcome. Subject and mood both point towards a kitchen, a dining room bar cart corner or a home-office shelf – anywhere you want a low-key reminder that lunch could, in theory, go on indefinitely. Part of the Hôtel Dodo collection, which conjures an imaginary resort full of retro holiday nostalgia and that particular "nothing to do, nowhere to go" energy, this print pairs naturally with other works from the collection for a poolside-themed gallery wall. It makes a particularly good gift for the food lover, the pistachio obsessive or anyone who needs an excuse to slow down.
Printed using archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® – a museum-grade cotton paper with a subtle felt texture – the matte, glare-free surface reads beautifully under both natural and artificial light and suits everything from a slim oak frame to an ornate vintage gilt one. At A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) or A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) it works well propped on a shelf or slotted into a gallery arrangement; A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) holds its own as a standalone kitchen or dining-room piece; and at A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) or A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm) it becomes a properly room-anchoring statement, the colours generous enough to carry the scale without losing their softness. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 in (70 × 100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame needed.
