This collection is commissioned by Nespresso Singapore for their artist collaboration component of their 2018 sustainability campaign.
The brief was to create a series of functional products that showcases the myriad of possibilities of a used capsule.

Iridescent creatures explores the dark yet mystical side of the underwater world. Iridescent fish scales constructed out of Nespresso’s capsules are intricately tiled — a motif used throughout the collection, alluding to the orderly yet multi-faceted depths of the aquatic life.

The collection debuts at Nespresso’s pop up store at VivoCity from 20 April – 30 April 2018.
We are proud to be commissioned to produce this series of work, it being Nespresso’s first time collaborating with artists.
