NALU’s space fuses the island spirit of Bali with an urban laboratory aesthetic, reflecting the context of the venue and its experimental & innovative approach to dessert flavors, as well as its collaboration with urban lifestyle brand Ageless Galaxy. The shop opens to the street through a wide glass frontage framed with a curvilinear bamboo portal that sweeps inwards, drawing attention to the interior. Visitors are offered views into the gelato lab through a window centered in the entryway. Glazed mosaic penny tiles clad the counter which guides to the gelato display at the center of the floor. Ageless Galaxy’s merchandise is displayed on a minimal steel and glass rack, set against a curved bamboo backdrop, relating back to the entrance portal. At the far end of the space, tiered seating makes use of the high ceiling and positions guests to look back at the counter with the gelato lab as a backdrop behind full height glass.
