Non Solo Kawaii

Estate per le Kawaii Girls vuol dire solo una cosa in ambito culinario: gelato!
Per noi che non riusciamo ad abbandonarlo nemmeno in inverno, l’estate diventa la stagione perfetta perché i gusti si moltiplicano, i gelati diventano sempre più grandi e in arte… enormi!
Per rendere omaggio alla stagione estiva, ecco una raccolta di gelati nell’arte, come la scultura interpreta questo dolce paradisiaco.

For the Kawaii Girls summer means only one thing in the culinary field: ice cream!
We can’t give up ice cream even in winter, so the summer is the perfect season because there are much more flavours, and ice creams become bigger and in art… huge!
To pay tribute to the summer season, here is a collection of ice creams in the art, as sculpture interprets this paradisiac sweet.

• Claes Oldenburg - Dropped Cone

Il famoso cono rovesciato di Colonia installato nel 2001 e commissionato dai proprietari del centro commerciale di Neumarkt Square. Dropped Cone rappresenta la “cornucopia del consumismo”, “un segno di trasitorietà”, inoltre rende omaggio a questo dolce così popolare in città e gioca con l’assonanza tra “cone” (cono) e “Cologne” (Colonia).
