Nom Culture: Coolhaus

While on an adventure to Whole Foods the other day, I passed by the frozen treat section and saw these deserts... 

Coolhaus!


Coolhaus is 3 plays on words:
[1] Bauhaus, an influential modernist design movement of the 1920′s and 30′s.
[2] Rem Koolhaas, the famous Dutch Architect and Theorist who challenged the mantra "Form follows function".
[3] "Cool house," an ice cream sandwich deconstructed into a cookie roof and floor slab with ice cream walls.

'Mintimalism' is a pun on the minimalism ideals that the Bauhaus school was founded upon...

Don't forget to try 'Richard Meyer Lemon', 'Frank Behry' (in honor of Frank Gehry which is a strawberry ice cream sandwiched in between snickerdoodle cookies), Rem "Coolhaus" and 'Mies Vanilla Rohe... I hear there is also one in honor of I.M. Pei called 'I.M. Pei-nut Butter'

Who knew architecture inspired foods can be so cool?
