Indulge in a Gelato Shop With a Distinct Palette
2023 Best of Year Winner for Counter Service
A mélange of rococo architecture and modern chrome makes for a tasteful pairing at Tanu Gelaterie in Odesa, Ukraine, completed just before the war began. Sivak+Partners, a Kyiv-based firm, inspired by the shop’s name (Ukrainian for I’m melting), and the icy dessert itself, installed wavy metal cladding that cascades along walls below the existing ornate plaster ceiling, concealing mechanicals. A slew of vintage filament bulbs line one such partition, while silvery curtains drape behind. To finish, the design team chose lilac neon-look signage, filling the 800-square-foot space with a dose of sweet color.
