Lunar landscape: Designers get factional with ice cream

22 : 10 : 2012 Design : Moon : Fictional

London – Design studio Doshi Levien has taken inspiration from a fictional trip to the moon in its collaboration with Häagen-Dazs, setting a new agenda for ice cream bars.

Doshi Levien turned to the classic silent film Le Voyage Dans La Lune when designing Häagen-Dazs’ ‘ice cream cakes’, which are moon-shaped and contain layers of biscuit, caramel and nuts. ‘It was our intention that the deeper you dive into the moon, the more flavours and layers are revealed,’ studio co-founder Jonathan Levien tells Fast Company.

This is a great way for food and design to meet in a finely executed product. For more on how fictional narratives can be implemented to beguile customers and generate a following, read our Faction Marketing macrotrend.
