Artwork in a cup
Starbucks Thailand has launched the latest collection of drinkware and other products exclusively designed by Ban.do, a Los Angeles-based design house and an expert in creating unique and brightly coloured artworks.
Ban.do’s sparkling inspiration comes from everyday objects such as colourful bonbons, bright lipsticks, tropical flowers, party nights filled with laughter and much more.
“Starbucks has long been committed to meeting consumer needs. Our first-time collaboration with Ban.do is an important step. Ban.do is a popular lifestyle brand from Los Angeles and popular with those who embrace the freshness, enjoyment and liveliness of summer. Their products are designed to provide consumers with a perfect combination of useful function and the sweet spirit of tropical flowers,” said Murray Darling, managing director of Starbucks Coffee (Thailand) Ltd.
The Tropical Floral Ceramic Mug is designed for those who love deep greens and tropical blossoms. The clever use of pastel pink as the background for both the inside and outside of the mug allows other elements to stand out and prevents them from being too sugary. The plastic lid comes in a crescent shape with a rim elaborated with pure gold adding a sense of luxury.
Good Times Ceramic Mug will please the minimalist with its simple but attractive typography. There’s a sense of “less is more” thanks to the dark pink letting on pastel pink and a bright blue dot over the ‘i’. The plastic lid also comes in a crescent shape with a gold rim. The Tropical Floral and Good Times Plastic Tumblers, meanwhile, are ideally suited to those who prefer the lightweight and easily portable option.
Also by Ban.do are a Tropical Floral Leatherette Passport Holder for travellers and a Tropical Floral Pencil Case that comes with a golden zip and metallic gold lining. The products will be available at Starbucks stores nationwide from Wednesday (May 17) onwards.
