The making of Wallpaper* gelato by Carpigiani Gelato University
What better way to explore the Salone del Mobile on a warm Milan spring day than with a cone of ice cream in hand?
Design is the reason we flock to Milan every April, but the Italian setting has a pull of its own. And what better way to explore the shows on a warm Mediterranean spring day than with a cone of gelato in hand? For our Handmade issue, we wanted to create our own version so we approached gelato experts Carpigiani, who invited Wallpaper* entertaining director Melina Keays to Bologna to craft two bespoke flavours - a creamy cardamom and pistachio gelato, and a cool pineapple and basil sorbet. The Wallpaper* gelato was served at the opening party from a state-of-the-art Screen ice cream freezer, designed by Delineodesign.
