Lobby Fountain
Tom Coll for
Burj Al Arab For the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, MoldBrothers partnered with Executive Pastry Chef Tom Coll to develop a bespoke collection of pastry molds inspired by one of the hotel's most recognizable design features: the iconic fountain that crowns the centre of the lobby.
The flowing geometry and elegant elevation of the fountain were carefully translated into a contemporary pastry design, creating a refined sculptural effect that reflects the luxury and architectural identity of the hotel. The desserts were designed to be served in close proximity to the fountain itself, establishing a visual connection between the pastry and its surroundings and creating a truly immersive guest experience.

To accommodate different occasions and styles of service, the collection was developed in three sizes for 1, 4, and 8 guests. Each mold preserves the intricate architectural details while ensuring consistency and efficiency in production, allowing the pastry team to recreate the signature design with exceptional precision.
The result is a pastry collection that transforms one of the Burj Al Arab's most iconic landmarks into an elegant edible creation, celebrating the hotel's identity through design, craftsmanship, and technical innovation.

Pastry
Working closely with Qinwan’s Executive Pastry Chef, their in-house creative team and our own designers, we developed a pastry line that could translate the identity of the brand into a unique collection of desserts. The process was a true collaboration between both teams, evolving from the first sketches and creative concepts to detailed 3D designs, initial test molds and several rounds of refinement to achieve the best possible result.
The collection draws inspiration from Qinwan’s roots, surroundings and visual identity. Elements from the architecture and interior style of the cafés, as well as references to the brand’s heritage, were translated into the shapes, textures and details of the individual pastries. This created a collection in which every design has its own character, while still forming part of one recognizable Qinwan pastry line.
Throughout the development process, aesthetics were carefully balanced with functionality. MoldBrothers translated the creative concepts into molds suitable for daily professional production, allowing Qinwan’s pastry teams to achieve the same clean, precise and consistent results across their cafés.

Today, the molds are used as part of Qinwan’s daily pastry production, helping ensure that guests experience the same level of quality and presentation across locations. One of the pastries created using a custom MoldBrothers mold was even recognized with the Best Dessert Parlour in Qatar 2026 award.
The result is a pastry collection created specifically for Qinwan: a line that brings together the brand’s heritage, contemporary café identity and pastry craftsmanship in a series of distinctive designs made for both visual impact and everyday use.
