Soft serve, glorious soft serve! While i adore all ice cream, this version has always been and will always be my fave. Must be the silky smooth texture combined with the jolly curlicue shape! Were better to explore new flavours than with a view out to a calm sea with a hint of tropical foliage…
Hôtel Dodo – Resort
A mysterious and beautiful place of natural beauty where tropical foliage meets sandy beaches, a myriad of colourful wildlife, culinary delights, and most of all a balmy serenity.

Peach-apricot, warm banana cream, sage and mint green, burnt terracotta, mustard yellow, and teal form the palette of this print – a warm-leaning, retro-saturated mix with golden undertones running through almost every hue. Walls in a soft warm white with a creamy or peach undertone will echo the apricot sky without competing, letting the ice-cream colours read at full vibrancy; for a tonal, more enveloping scheme, a muted sage or dusty eucalyptus picks up the green soft serve and the palm foliage naturally. If you want gentle contrast, a terracotta-adjacent warm coral or faded brick tone sits almost opposite the teal accents and gives the whole print a sun-baked Mediterranean energy that it can absolutely carry. This is not a print for cold, grey-toned rooms – it wants warmth. In terms of style, it suits coastal casual, retro maximalist, playful mid-century, and eclectic café interiors with ease. Hang it in a kitchen, a dining room, or a sun-room where the seaside-promenade mood can do its best work; it also makes a cheerful, energetic addition to a hallway or a child’s bedroom that has grown out of nursery pastels. This print belongs to the Hôtel Dodo collection – an imaginary resort built on retro holiday nostalgia and that blissful "nothing to do, nowhere to be" energy – and it pairs readily with other prints from the collection for a gallery wall that feels like a curated boutique hotel corridor. It makes a genuinely good gift for ice-cream lovers, beach enthusiasts, and anyone who needs a little poolside calm on their walls.
The print is produced with archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag®, a museum-grade cotton paper with a subtle felt texture and a matte, glare-free surface that holds saturated colour without any shine – meaning it reads equally well in natural and artificial light, and suits both slim contemporary frames and more ornate vintage ones without throwing a glare. At A4 and A3, it sits comfortably on a shelf, a mantlepiece, or within a gallery arrangement alongside other Hôtel Dodo pieces; A2 and A3 also work well clustered above a kitchen counter or in a narrow dining space. At A2 and A1 the print becomes a confident standalone statement – right at home above a sideboard or sofa – and at A0 it anchors a larger room with the sort of bold, unhurried presence the collection was made for. This print is also available as a 28×40 inch (70×100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame needed.
