Inspired by sci-fi set design, Gelato Messina Cronulla draws from romantic visions of the future. A grid of oversized, underlit circular lights hovers over a space that is many things at once: gritty, reflective, warm, and bold.

Our fourth project with Gelato Messina, the brief was to evolve both the brand and the space—something unique and distinct from their other stores, something experimental and futuristic.
The concept was born from a mutual admiration for Luc Besson’s 1997 sci-fi film The Fifth Element. The film’s mood and gritty set design became the foundation for the environment and the ‘other-worldly’ gelato experience we aimed to create.
