To usher in the Year of the Rabbit, Nespresso is pleased to announce its collaboration with Chinese fashion designer Angel Chen for a limited-edition Lunar New Year collection. Known for her signature colourful approach to fashion and fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics, Angel Chen's designs have also been showcased at the coveted Milan Fashion Week since 2017.
The NESPRESSO x ANGEL CHEN collaboration features the patchwork rabbit design - a creative and playful interpretation of the animal often seen as a symbol of elegance, skilfulness and new beginnings. Fashioned out of unused wools, hand-woven materials and lace from Angel Chen's past collections and recycled Nespresso jute coffee bags, the patchwork design is an interesting yet pragmatic way to give selected materials a second life while also symbolizing the coming together of family and friends during this very special time of the year. The recycled materials will be applied across store display for this special collection.
As part of the NESPRESSO x ANGEL CHEN collection, coffee lovers will be able to elevate their celebrations with a range of selected coffee, machines and gifts in the limited edition Lunar New Year design. The items featured in this exclusive collection were put together with sharing and gifting to family and friends in mind. In addition, Nespresso has also created four delightful coffee recipes inspired by the auspicious ingredients of the season.
"It's always exciting to be able to explore new ideas and this year we wanted to celebrate the rich heritage, deep traditions and the coming together of families and friends often associated the Lunar New Year. We were also inspired by Angel Chen's bold designs and creative flair. Together we wanted to push the boundaries of creativity and give the year of the rabbit a meaningful and modern interpretation that will elevate celebrations for all coffee lovers", says Melanie Brinbaum, Chief Brand Officer at Nespresso.
Angel Chen says "This is one of the most creative and special collaboration for me in recent times. Given that the theme was built around the year of the rabbit, I did a lot of research on materials and ways to do patchwork. I also drew inspiration from a visit to the Nespresso boutique when I saw how beautiful pieces were created from recycled coffee capsules. I enjoyed the freedom of playing around with the colors, prints and fabrics, and putting them together to create the patchwork rabbit. It is very inspiring to see how recycled things can be used."
