Foguel Studio turns ice cream shop into sculptural setting<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Tandil, Argentina<\/a><\/strong>, Foguel Studio transforms an ice cream<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0shop<\/a><\/strong> into a temple of fantasy, where marble turns to cream, cones to columns, and childhood wonder becomes architecture. For the Figlio ice cream shop, Foguel Studio conceives a space that ventures far from traditional architecture. The project unfolds as an artistic statement, one that drifts among drama, romanticism, irreverence, exaggeration, and irony. While architectural in function, the project\u2019s spirit is sculptural<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Foguel, an industrial designer and artist trained in scenography and costume design, brings a theatrical sensibility to the space, where materials and symbols play equally important roles. The interior<\/a><\/strong> combines marble<\/a><\/strong> \u2018cream\u2019 moldings and capitals, solid-wood<\/a><\/strong> \u2018cone\u2019 tables, resin \u2018cocoa flowers,\u2019 and cement \u2018bonbons,\u2019 along with vases showcasing 3D printed<\/a><\/strong> reliefs that reinterpret each ice cream flavor.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the heart of the space, a seven-meter hybrid effigy revisits Greco-Roman masterpieces through a contemporary, ironic lens. This ornamental excess, rich in intertextuality, evokes references to Michelangelo, the Colossus of Rhodes, and Sorrentino\u2019s \u2018The Great Beauty,\u2019 all while dialoguing with postmodernism and its unapologetic motto: \u2018Less is boring.\u2019 The result is both commercial and monumental, a dreamlike temple where state-of-the-art screens, raw stone claddings, marble sculptures, and even tiramisu textures coexist. Foguel, founder of the Buenos Aires-based studio<\/a><\/strong>, has recently received awards for her ephemeral works in ice. With Figlio, she turns into stone what usually melts away. The project ultimately celebrates architecture as fiction, a playful, instinctive, and intellectual operation that transforms fantasy into form.<\/p>\n
