SIGEP International Exhibition of Italian Ice Cream, Confectionery

For the 29th edition of the SIGEP International Exhibition of Artisan Gelato (Italian Ice Cream), Confectionery and Bakery production (Rimini Fiera, 26-30 January 2008) – there is also a busy program of initiatives tailor-made for trade members prepared by exhibiting firms. The following are some examples of the first that reached us.

Plug in and sell your gelato. This is now possible, thanks to PUNTO GELATO ITALIANO by IFI, the latest generation of free-standing kiosks, completely fitted out with back base unit and platform, designed by the Research & Development department of IFI, an INDUSTRIEIFI brand, based on a creative idea by architects Davide and Gabriele Adriano, who gave a new slant to TONDA, the one and only round rotating gelato display counter thought up by industrial designer Makio Hasuike for IFI.

An unusual combination of an indoor and outdoor venue, where services all face outwards, to create a space for enjoying the atmosphere of the seaside and the harbour, is proposed by architect and designer Luca Podrini, who decided to recreate the charming feel of a yacht per ROSSI DIMENSION (a INDUSTRIEIFI brand), specialists in custom furnishings and fittings, at SIGEP 2008.

A design based on non-colour colour, where carefully selected materials and close attention to details are very much to the fore. The counter in Corian, which runs round the entire perimeter of the locale, forms an imaginary line between inside and out, an essential element for every seaside location. An unusual venue able to emotionally involve clients, in an atmosphere that brings to mind yachts´ on-board lifestyle.
