The founders of two architecture-inspired businesses, Natasha Case of ice cream brand Coolhaus and Alyson Beaton of DIY-doll house maker Lille Huset, will join us onstage. Plus, a Coolhaus truck will be parked on the show floor to dole out ice cream sandwiches—including the exclusive Dwell on De-Vine flavor, a collaboration between Dwell and Coolhaus that features a Lambrusco reduction ice cream with cinnamon and black pepper sandwiched between two chocolate cookies.

The Best Ice Cream Scoop Ice-cream industry insiders unanimously raved about the Zeroll after testing it in three popular San Francisco ice cream shops (The Sweethome editors generously tested the scoop at home too).

We debuted this story on Coolhaus, [note the pun] an LA based company founded by two architects that makes high concept ice cream sandwiches named after modern design icons, back in April of 2009 and apparently it was hot hot hot then too. I'll bet we beat the record this year.

15% COLLECTION ALUMINUM ICE CREAM SPOON “I scream, you scream, we all scream” when ice cream is too hard to eat. The 15% line from Lemnos is made with high-grade aluminum—a metal with high thermal conductivity—that conducts the hand’s temperature when in use. This makes the ice cream softer, so it is easier to spoon and eat. Each ice cream spoon is hand-polished by a Japanese metal craftsman, ensuring that the quality utensil has a brilliant shine. Designed by Japanese designer Nakoi Terada, the all aluminum body features smooth curves and is crafted to fit into the whole palm when it is held.

The Coolhaus Shop in Culver City is not far from all of the action at Dwell on Design, happening June 20-22 in Los Angeles.

Creator Michael Chou took the ergonomically flawed design of the typical ice cream scoop, and angled it and added a grip so that it takes less effort to use. Chou, a 35-year-old father and aerospace engineer from Michigan, went through 38 iterations over two years of development before settling on the design.

Coolhaus ice cream flavors range from Cuban Cigar to Fried Chicken & Waffles to Gin & Tonic, with cookies such as Maple Flapjack and Peanut Butter Captain Crunch. A variety of Coolhaus offerings will be available to sample on the show floor at Dwell on Design. Coolhaus Chocolate Bourbon ice cream sandwich. Photo courtesy of Coolhaus

Natasha Case had always been fascinated by what she calls Farchitecture: the marriage of food and architecture. After finishing architecture school, she and her business partner Freya Estreller headed out to the Coachella music festival in an old postal van filled with ice cream sandwiches named after architectural legends, and Coolhaus was born. Coolhaus trucks are often parked around New York. Photo courtesy of Coolhaus.

COOLHAUS was in the house, serving up scrumptious vegan architectural ice cream sandwiches.

The Midnight Scoop’s front tip is thin and designed to slice through freezer-hardened ice cream without heat.

SUGAR + CREAM $84 For presenting sugar and cream on the table we suggest this minimalist, hand-thrown sugar bowl and creamer set from Pigeon Toe. We especially love the small leather loop handle on the sugar bowl lid.

Downing a beverage from a cup made of solid ice just seems somehow godlike. It’s as if you’re attending Odin’s birthday bash and the winds of the frozen North have supplied the drinkware. Unfortunately, unless you’re enjoying your drink someplace with an ambient temperature of less than 32°f, you’re going to be holding less and less of a mug as the party goes on. Still, it might be worth it.

Mary and Scott Hager love their ice machine and consider it a necessity in their home. When the two have something to celebrate, the Scotsman ice machine has just what they need for the perfect drink, says Scott. “With the Sonic-style crushed ice, it’s gotta be a margarita.”

Daniel offers a sample of Bourbon flavor ice cream, on an eco-friendly stainless-steel testing spoon.
