Chin Chin Laboratorists in Camden, North London is an ice cream shop with a twist. The shop has a different workstation for each stage of the ice cream making process and additional space for experimentation. Each workstation becomes a colour coded part of this ice cream making machine, held together at appropriate heights by scaffolding. The scaffolding, white coats and laboratory paraphernalia gives the shop the feeling of a mad scientist’s lab, and a theatrical one at that. Making the ice cream becomes a performance and customers can see each part of the process from the decanting to mixing, freezing with liquid nitrogen and topping. The concept is carried through effortlessly into the branding that borrows symbols and diagrams from chemistry.
