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. Situated near Paseo de García, this establishment offers more than just delicious treats; it provides a sensory journey to a world where vibrant colors, surreal shapes, and human warmth converge in a burst of creativity.
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.
Ice cream takes center stage in this whimsical setting, inspiring Masquespacio to infuse the environment with elements that capture its essence: fun, magical, and full of possibilities. Furniture and decorations feature organic shapes and sculptures reminiscent of ice cream, contributing to a playful and enchanting ambiance. The soft pastel colors and tactile materials invite guests to indulge in a truly unique sensory experience.
Amiko Gelato has been meticulously crafted to engage all senses. The strategic use of lighting is pivotal in establishing diverse ambiances during various times of the day. Thoughtfully curated music enhances the customer’s journey, complemented by the delightful scents of gelato and greenery that envelop the space.
Furthermore, the Spanish design studio has gone the extra mile by creating a unique line of coffee cups specifically for the venue. If you seek a location where you can savor ice cream while allowing your mind to wander freely, Amiko Gelato is the perfect choice.
