Masquespacio has once again defied the notion that Art Deco belongs to the past with their latest project, the Amiko Gelato ice cream parlor in Barcelona.

Drawing inspiration from the Art Deco style of Palm Beach County in Miami, Masquespacio has reimagined it for the future. The space is a masterpiece in itself, blending sinuous curves reminiscent of iconic buildings from the era with modern, straight lines to showcase the evolution of design. The pastel palette, a reinterpretation of Art Deco’s vibrant colors, harmonizes with earthy tones like green, creating a sense of freshness and lightness.

The lush tropical greenery that fills the space, along with the presence of large plants, adds a natural touch that contrasts beautifully with the ceramics and metal used in the decor. This infusion of nature not only brings color and life to the surroundings but also transports visitors to an oasis within the city.
