# Artist-Designed Coffee Accessories The Alchemist Art Café Pop-Up Spotlighted Designs by Futura By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-12-04 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-popup References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/futura-cafe-art-basel/#slide-3) & [artnet](http://www.artnet.com/artists/futura-2000-lenny-mcgurr/) The Alchemist Art Café pop-up is a temporary activation that is running through December 8th. The delightful initiative is launched for Art Basel Miami and to fit into the theme of the event, it also boasts an artistic presence. The branding for the Alchemist Art Café pop-up in Miami was entirely overhauled by legendary artist Futura who adorned the space with a quirky caricature of two characters enjoying a cup of coffee. From the napkins to the seating arrangements, the interior of the activation is unified through this motif. In addition to the bespoke experience of the Alchemist Art Café pop-up, consumers can opt-in for a few special coffee accessories — including coasters, a thermos, and a mug, that feature Futura's graphic.
