Artists Craig & Karl add a pop of colour to the latest Nespresso Limited Editions
Beirut, LEBANON- November 2017 – Coffee lovers are set to be full of joy this holiday season as Nespresso has revealed its Limited Edition Festive Collection in collaboration with renowned artists Craig & Karl. Spreading the colour and fun of the season, the exclusive collection has been inspired by traditional candies that evoke nostalgic childhood memories.
To create the ultimate gift collection, Nespresso has teamed up with design duo Craig & Karl. Craig Redman and Karl Maier are transatlantic-based university friends turned creative collaborators who have a love for simple shapes paired with wildly colourful patterns and a wry sense of humour. The duo have injected their signature colours and patterns into both the Nespresso Limited Edition Variations coffees and a selection of unique accessories that make the perfect gifts for design and coffee aficionados.
Craig and Karl explained: “We were inspired by the Nespresso Variations flavours and the notion they were all based around old-style confectionery. We were also mindful that the design had to feel modern and relevant to now, so in our initial development we honed in on candy cane style stripes, which were prevalent in the past. In it, we saw a classic motif that can evoke nostalgia for the customer, but one that equally feels current owing to its bold and graphic form. We also loved that the stripes once applied to dome-shaped capsules gave them the appearance of candy themselves.”
NESPRESSO LIMITED EDITION VARIATIONS CONFETTO
The holiday period is a time for unique experiences and the range of Nespresso Limited Edition Variations Confetto coffees do not disappoint with their surprising candy flavoured aromas combined with the highest quality Pure Arabica. There are three Original Variations to try, each with a Craig & Karl designed capsule.
Each of the Variations have been based on the Nespresso Livanto coffee blend which consists of Pure Arabica from Southern and Central America. It is well balanced with a roasted caramelised note providing roundness and balance in the finished coffees:
