Blue Bottle Coffee, 396 Broadway, New York, NY 10011
I had the pleasure of attending an exclusive preview of Blue Bottle Coffee’s latest collaboration, this time with the iconic Finnish design house, Marimekko. Hosted at their café at the Walker Hotel, the limited-time collection radiates a sense of vibrant energy and Nordic charm.
What stands out about this collection is how it marries Marimekko’s signature bold, colorful prints with Blue Bottle’s clean, minimalist approach. The result is a series of coffee accessories that feel fresh, playful, and unmistakably Nordic. There’s something about the soft joy the design brings to an everyday ritual — like sipping a cup of coffee in the morning — that makes it feel a little more special.
As a fan of Blue Bottle’s Instant Craft Coffee, I couldn’t help but smile seeing the collection in person. The designs infuse an extra layer of delight into the simple, grounding moments of daily life. Whether you’re using a Marimekko mug for your morning brew or brewing up some coffee with their beautifully designed accessories, it’s a small reminder that joy can be found in the most unexpected places.
The collaboration feels like the perfect balance of style and function — turning an ordinary moment into something memorable, all while celebrating the beauty of Scandinavian design.
