NOTES

Sorella is a small seaside ice cream kiosk in Clevedon.

It continues a family history of ice cream making, while also functioning as a place where food, art, and archive overlap.

Each season, Sorella adopts a different decade as a way of thinking about design, labour, and ways of working.

This year references late-1980s and early-1990s digital culture — a moment when the internet was quiet, text-led, and infrastructural rather than performative.

The kiosk operates through a simple structure.

It draws from a time when the offering was minimal — sometimes just a single flavour — as Aldo worked.

It is rooted in ongoing acts of care, and attention to those who came before it.

The menu expands and contracts, offering a wider range of flavours while remaining rooted in small batch production. 

Sorella explores how business and art can merge as a way to work, earn, learn, and interact through calm, human-scaled ways of working.

Over time, the site may take on additional functions, responding to use, need, and capacity.

This website is not a menu or an ordering system.
It is an introduction.
