A fruity Indian summer picnic toasting to the last rays of summer with your favourite spritz featuring Hôtel Dodo’s playful leopard brand vermouth. Sweet and a little spicy…
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 apricot, coral-tinged salmon, soft buttercream yellow, dusty rose pink, fresh grass green and a deep amber-orange – these are the colours that spill across this sun-drenched still life, all of them warm in tone and pulled toward the golden end of the spectrum. Because the palette is so thoroughly warm, the most natural wall pairings work from within the same temperature family: a muted terracotta or warm sand will sit in easy analogous harmony with the apricot and amber, while a creamy off-white with a yellow undertone lets the coral and rose tones lead without competition. For something livelier, a soft dusty sage – a near-complementary to all that warm orange – gives the print a confident foil without fighting it, and would pick up the grass-green of the strawberry stems and papaya skin in a way that feels deliberate. In terms of style, the print suits Mediterranean or Italian coastal interiors, vintage maximalist rooms with rattan and warm timber, colourful eclectic kitchens, and laid-back Californian or tropical bohemian spaces. It belongs wherever food and leisure overlap: a kitchen, a dining room, a sun-filled breakfast corner, or above a drinks trolley where it practically makes the case for a Spritz. This print is part of the Hôtel Dodo collection – an imaginary resort built on retro holiday nostalgia and joyous calm, the kind of place with "nothing to do, nowhere to go" energy – and it pairs beautifully with other prints from the collection for a gallery wall that feels like a curated holiday mood board. It makes a thoughtful gift for lovers of Italian aperitivo culture, food stylists, or anyone who carries summer with them year-round.
Printed with archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® – a museum-grade cotton paper with a subtle felt texture – the matte, glare-free surface reads beautifully in natural light and suits everything from a slim oak frame to an ornate gilt one without reflection interfering. The A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) and A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) sizes sit happily on a shelf or slotted into a gallery wall arrangement; the A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) holds its own as a standalone piece above a sideboard or in a dining nook; and the A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) and A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm) sizes have the scale to anchor a kitchen wall or become the centrepiece of a large dining room. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame needed.
