A Perfect Blend: Café Kitsuné x Iittala Collaboration

Café Kitsuné, the beloved lifestyle brand, has teamed up with the renowned Finnish design house Iittala to unveil a special collection of mugs that promise to elevate your daily coffee rituals. This limited edition lineup captures the essence of iconic design, merging craftsmanship with functionality.

Inspired by Timeless Design

This mug collection pays homage to the visionary Finnish designer Kaj Franck, whose ideals of equality and moderation continue to resonate. Utilizing the iconic "Teema" series as its foundation, the mugs embody the principles Franck cherished. First launched in 1952 and reinterpreted in 1981, the Teema collection is celebrated for its simple forms, versatile functionality, and enduring quality, designed to be cherished over time.

The Teema mugs serve as an ideal canvas for the latte art that represents the essence of Café Kitsuné, capturing the delicate artistry that they are known for. The collaboration invites customers to experience coffee as not just a beverage, but as an integral component of everyday life, emphasizing moments of pause, connection, and reflection.

Colorful Inspirations

The collection is available in four beautiful colors: Matcha, Sakura, Cappuccino, and Sesame. Each hue is inspired by Café Kitsuné's own drink menu, offering a tactile sensation that enriches moments of tranquility and connection. Whether basking in the soft morning sunlight or enjoying a peaceful afternoon, the modern aesthetic of Iittala seamlessly fuses with Café Kitsuné's refined international flair.

Each mug holds a capacity of 0.3 liters, designed to be stackable and durable, making them suitable for various settings, from your home to the workplace. Existing Teema merchandise complements this collection, allowing for a tableware experience that balances individuality with coherence.

Special Limited-Time Menu

In celebration of the launch, selected Café Kitsuné locations will offer a limited-time special menu from October 16 to November 16. Custom-made drinks inspired by each mug color will be served in the collaboration mugs, allowing patrons to fully enjoy the experience through all five senses. The special drink lineup includes:

• - Maple Cinnamon Cappuccino: A delightful blend of maple syrup and Ceylon cinnamon, creating a captivating aroma, rich coffee flavor, and delightful maple taste.
