Piccolina Hawthorn is a modern and considered interpretation of the gelateria, captured carefully through a restrained monotone palette. Bold and considered sculptural gestures in hard-formed plaster and concrete are contrasted against sleek industrial tech insertions, dialled up or down to create theatre and moments of interest throughout the space. The brand's familiar warmth holds in tension with a sharper, newer architectural register, allowing the venue to feel both immediately recognisable and quietly, openly reinvented for the corner.
