PEOPLE-CENTRIC INNOVATION
Founded in 1962, for 50 years now Ifi has been the brand to watch at the international level for style, technology and design in food & beverage businesses. Innovation, research in food science, engineering and design know-how are the fundamentals of a single guideline: continuous improvement of people’s well-being through food conservation, their display, hygiene, functioning, and the creation of places for exchange. Working on interpreting people’s unexpressed needs, Ifi has brought artisanal gelato into the international elite of style. It is, in fact, the only company in the world to boast the ADI Compasso d'Oro International Award (in 2014 and 2018), as well as numerous honorary mentions for technology and furnishing concepts.

PIVOT
Rising to the top, with no compromise
Design Giulio Iacchetti
Born to enhance Gelato, Pastry and Pralines, Pivot is the new benchmark for refrigerated vertical display cases.
With Pivot, Ifi raises quality, performance and design standards and guarantees refrigeration excellence even in extreme environmental conditions.
AL VOLO
Design MM Design
Al volo is Ifi's latest innovation to offer artisanal gelato, pastry and pralines beyond the boundaries of traditional shops.
Al volo is a mini refrigerated professional display case, which in a small space contains all the technological knowledge of Ifi. The ventilated refrigeration guarantees an always spreadable gelato, and the heated double glasses avoid the formation of condensation even in extreme climatic conditions, to always offer the maximum visibility of the food, even from a distance. As in any Ifi project, attention to ergonomics is central: the ambidextrous opening handle allows even more practical and comfortable use, while the servo-assisted rear door facilitates service operations and limits cold air dispersion to the outside.
BELLEVUE PANORAMA
Design Marc Sadler + IFI R&D Dept.
Bellevue with Panorama technology represents a brand new synthesis of two fundamental characteristics of artisan gelato-making that have always been the antithesis of each other: perfect preservation of the gelato in pozzetti counters and visibility of the flavours in display cases, offering a new way of presenting and serving artisan gelato.
JOLLY
The display case defrosts, but the gelato doesn’t notice it
Design Marc Sadler + IFI R&D Dept.
Jolly is the first professional free-standing display case for gelato with Hybrid Cooling Technology, an Ifi exclusive and innovative technology based on dual-source refrigeration.
Hybrid Cooling Technology, an Ifi exclusive system, guarantees continuous chilling in the display case during the delicate yet necessary stages of defrosting, thus eliminating negative effects on the gelato. Thanks to a supplementary refrigeration source, which activates only during defrosting, the gelato is not subject to any thermal shock, keeping intact its appearance and all organoleptic characteristics.
XYLO PANORAMA
Design Marc Sadler + IFI R&D Dept.
With Panorama Xylo, artisan gelato goes beyond the boundaries of our traditional idea of a gelato parlour. Equipped with 5 1.3 kg gelato pans, Xylo is designed to respond to the needs which have come out of the growing contamination of artisan gelato with other food areas: restaurants/pastry shops/cafés... These are areas where the quantity of gelato which is produced and displayed is lower than that in a gelato parlour. Nevertheless, artisan gelato production combined with other foods, when done with professionalism and creativity, opens up very interesting scenarios.
BIT PANORAMA
Bit Panorama® is the tiniest and most basic freestanding unit in the field of artisan gelato interfaces.
Its small dimensions contain the Panorama® technology and a myriad of possibilities. Embodying ifi’s philosophy, Bit is a tool that leads artisan gelato beyond the boundaries of traditional gelato shops.
Bit’s easy installation enhances opportunities for gelato makers who aim at offering their product in new places outside their usual space, as well as for creative entrepreneurs planning to expand their business.
The clean simplified lines, along with the white colour, improve the display case’s adaptability to different environments.
FAST PANORAMA
Fast Panorama is the Panorama Technology applied to the Fast pozzetto, the plug and play pozzetti counter, which is ready for use wherever there is a power socket. It is available in four lengths:
-
4 holes (800 mm)
-
6 holes (1100 mm)
-
8 holes (1300 mm)
-
10 holes (1500 mm)
With ventilated refrigeration and an on-board motor, FAST can be installed anywhere and, thanks to its 4 pivoting wheels, can be moved inside or outside the venue.
COLONNA
Design Giulio Iacchetti + IFI R&D Dept.
Culinary style has its origins in an intimate knowledge of raw ingredients and techniques.
From fragrances gathered over time, from the experience of tastes and textures to the intelligence of gestures: flavours take shape and proportion in the hands of the confectioner.
PANORAMA PANS
Design IFI R&D Dept.
Panorama® widens its horizons adding the Pans version to the original Tubs edition, without changing its plus:
versatility, modularity, visibility, multi-temperature, energy and food preservation, comfort and hygiene.
POPAPP
Design IFI R&D Dept.
PopApp is a compact workstation that encompasses spaces for the production of artisan gelato for its preservation, display and sale in a single environment.
Smart and accessible like an APP, it can be opened with a simple movement changing its size from 3,5 m2 closed to 5 m2 open (approximately). Versatile and adaptable like a pop-up store, it can be easily disassembled to be reused in always different contexts.
PopApp is the gelato show for all to see and then taste, it is the story of doing, it is transparency, it is interaction, it is freedom of installation, because it consists of only three elements; what’s more, it is fully independent thanks to the self-sufficient water system and requires only a 230V power outlet to turn it on.
GELATO COOLBOX
Design Marc Sadler + IFI R&D Dept.
With GELATO COOLBOX, artisan gelato goes out of gelato shop inside a professional suitcase
-
With 2 anti-rotation tubs;
-
insulated like a gelato display case, with 4 hours of perfect gelato storage + 2 hours of service;
-
without need of electric power;
-
inside a Smart’s tank;
-
can be carried by hand or on wheeled cart
In order to bring gelato to:
Parties, inaugurations, indoor and outdoor events, vernissage, meetings, sports events, poolside, restaurants, showcooking events and anywhere your fantasy may suggest.
PANORAMA TECHNOLOGY
Design Marc Sadler + IFI R&D Dept.
Panorama technology, represents a brand new synthesis of two fundamental characteristics of artisan gelato-making that have always been the antithesis of each other: perfect preservation of the gelato in pozzetti counters and visibility of the flavours in display cases, offering a new way of presenting and serving artisan gelato.
FAST POZZETTI
Design IFI R&D Dept.
FAST is a visually appealing “plug-in” pozzetti counter that is ready for use and extremely competitively priced. It comes with ventilated refrigeration and a motor inside. FAST can be installed anywhere and its four swivel wheels allow it to be moved inside and outside.
FAST is designed for gelato parlours that want to expand their gelato/granita serving facilities (perhaps by putting FAST outside when the weather is fine) and also for cafés and restaurants that want to add a gelato/granita counter in their premises.
TONDA
Design Makio Hasuike & Co. + IFI R&D Dept.
IFI’s icon, gelato display case Tonda has told the tale in over sixty countries of the world of a dream come true through the alchemy of a playful vision and cutting-edge technology, never seen before in the world of artisan gelato. The first round and rotating display case in history, capable of treating gelato to the playful dimension of the world of childhood to which it belongs, this gelato display case offers the perfect combination of ideal preservation of gelato in pozzetti counters and the appealing display of the flavours.
CLOUD
Design Makio Hasuike & Co. + IFI R&D Dept.
From whatever viewpoint, the gelato seems to float suspended in a cloud of light that can change colour and intensity at will. This same light seems to lift the entire display case off the ground, thanks to the backlit base that reduces in size from top to bottom. It is a glass case full of cold, whose simplicity and overall visibility are the result of brand new technological solutions, such as the invisible front air intake. Its depth of only one metre is a record for a professional display case with double evaporator.
SAM80
Design IFI R&D Dept.
The professional gelato display case with front glass at 90 degrees, only one metre deep. Main characteristics:
-
The RDF system reduces the number of defrosts, which are activated on the basis of the time the display case is actually open, benefiting the preservation of the gelato;
-
Energy savings and higher hygiene thanks to HCS and RDF systems;
-
Double evaporator;
-
LED lighting;
-
Easy routine maintenance thanks to the filter that can be easily removed from the operator side;
-
Base on legs or flush-mounted wheels.
