OAKLAND, Calif., April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Finnish lifestyle design company Marimekko and global specialty coffee brand Blue Bottle Coffee announce a limited-edition collaboration that celebrates Finnish coffee culture, thoughtful design, and the joy of everyday rituals. Rooted in a shared dedication to craftsmanship and artistry, the collection features immersive cafe installations, a latte that captures the flavors of Finland’s beloved korvapuusti (Finnish cinnamon roll), and exclusive merchandise from printed textiles to elegant coffee accessories. The Marimekko x Blue Bottle Coffee collaboration launches globally across ten selected Blue Bottle Coffee cafes in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Fukuoka, Seoul, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong SAR, as well as online at bluebottlecoffee.com on 25 April 2025.

Marimekko and Blue Bottle Coffee Celebrate Finnish Coffee Culture and the Joy of Everyday Rituals

Where Craft, Design, and Finnish Coffee Culture Converge
This collaboration brings together two brands known for their shared pursuit of artistry–Marimekko’s renowned art of printmaking and Blue Bottle’s precision in coffee. Inspired by Finland’s deeply rooted coffee culture, this collaboration reflects a shared belief that craft, design, and ritual elevate the everyday. In Finland, coffee is more than just a beverage; it’s an experience, meant to be savored with intention and care. The tradition of dedicated coffee breaks highlights an appreciation for slow, deliberate moments, where quality and craftsmanship take precedence over speed and convenience.

This philosophy is woven throughout the collaboration, from the process of crafting a great cup of coffee to the thoughtfully designed accessories that enrich the experience of enjoying it. In select Blue Bottle cafes, this concept extends into the physical space, where installations featuring Marimekko’s Unikko pattern transform the cafe environment into an invitation to take a break and experience coffee through a design-driven lens. These installations complement the architectural elegance of Blue Bottle cafes, creating spaces where guests can sit, enjoy beautifully crafted coffee “for here,” and find joy in everyday rituals.

“We are excited to celebrate Finnish coffee culture and its everyday rituals together with Blue Bottle Coffee. At Marimekko, we always strive to bring something new and surprising for our customers, and joining forces with Blue Bottle Coffee for this limited-edition collaboration perfectly aligns Marimekko’s joyful and optimistic lifestyle philosophy with Blue Bottle Coffee’s craft in specialty coffee,” says Rebekka Bay, Creative Director at Marimekko.  

“This partnership with Marimekko is a celebration of the creativity and care that define great coffee and design,” said Simone Hodges, Blue Bottle’s Chief Brand and Experience Officer. “Both of our brands share a belief that everyday rituals can be extraordinary when approached with intention. By uniting Marimekko’s bold, timeless design with our dedication to quality coffee, we’ve created an offering that reflects Finnish coffee culture through its signature flavors, inviting rituals, and thoughtful design.”

Collection overview
The Marimekko x Blue Bottle Coffee assortment offers thoughtfully designed pieces that bring artistry and care to daily coffee rituals. The collection includes an elegant tumbler, coffee mug, espresso cup and saucer, coffee spoon, tote bag, and apron (exclusive to Asia), featuring Marimekko’s Unikko print in a limited-edition colorway of Nordic Green and Blue Bottle’s signature blue, created exclusively for this collaboration. All textiles in the collection have been printed at Marimekko’s own textile printing factory in Helsinki, Finland.

As part of this release, coffee lovers can enjoy the Marimekko Latte, a limited-time beverage that reflects the comforting flavors of korvapuusti (Finnish cinnamon roll) with a rich blend of cinnamon, honey, vanilla, and a touch of orange zest. Available in select Blue Bottle cafes, this latte can also be recreated at home using Blue Bottle Craft Instant Espresso, packaged in a limited-edition Unikko design with an easy-to-follow recipe.

The collection will be available exclusively online at bluebottlecoffee.com and at the following select Blue Bottle cafes starting April 25, 2025:
