The House of Ice Cream's Design Blends Retro with Contemporary Designs

— February 23, 2018 — Lifestyle
The House of Ice Cream, based in Medellin, Colombia, enlisted the design agency Plasma Nodo to create the decor and branding for its brick and mortar location – and the result is a beautiful space that perfectly references nostalgic retro decor, alongside more contemporary design standards.

The space features multiple patterns, with stripes, tiles, and decorative floors coming together to create an environment that both children and adults would appreciate. The multi-hued lighting gives the space a retro feel, while decorative plant life adorns the walls and ceilings to give the space a slightly more modern and sophisticated edge.

The House of Ice Cream offers the ideal blueprint for how similar brands can present their products.
