An inspiring and creative project.

This was the starting point for creating this space designed by the Cacau Ribeiro Interiores studio in Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil.

Two new brands in a single environment. On one side Gelatto, a gelateria designed for franchise expansion. On the other side Lafontti, a store offering frozen meals to take home. The common area has an integrated space surrounded by nature and filled with natural light.

The organically designed facade was conceived to and draws the attention of passers-by. Entirely clad in cobogós, supported by an organic metal structure, the Cacau Ribeiro Interiores studio embraced the architecture developed by C4 Arquitetos.

In the bathroom, a curtain featuring phrases connects customers to the brand concepts. Inside, mirrored walls and a floor projection of water running in a creek, combined with the scent of the forest and nature sounds, create an immersive experience, giving visitors the sensation of a true walk through the woods.

For the entire social area, the chosen flooring was Terralma by Portobello, with striped patterns in two colors (Noronha and Sardenha). In the front store counters, ceramic sticks by Keramica were used to reflect the brand’s identity to each store. The island in common area was lowered  to maximize the view of nature, and the counter was covered in bricks of varying depths. Large synthetic fiber pendant lamps surround this counter, while the furniture is upholstered in exclusive fabrics, featuring designs created by artist Nini Garcia specifically for these spaces.

On the outdoor living, charming poufs and parasols were designed by Cacau Ribeiro and developed by the brand Cerello.
