toopa
gelato shop, 2025
The Toopa Gelato store is designed as a playful ode to joy, community, and indulgence. Inspired by the spirit of Toopa—a woman who embodies fun, quirkiness, and a zest for life—the space translates her personality into bold, vibrant forms that energise the environment. The sculptural stepped seating becomes both a stage and a gathering place, encouraging people to linger, laugh, and share their gelato in a collective, celebratory experience.
Playful elements from the brand identity are reimagined spatially, creating a seamless dialogue between design and branding. The immersive use of colour, rounded forms, and tactile surfaces makes the space feel inviting and lighthearted, while also ensuring the gelato remains at the heart of the experience. The result is not just a store but a lively social setting—where every scoop becomes a moment of connection and delight.
