THE ART BAG PROJECT
Bags as dynamic as the coffee inside.
After a decade of rocking blank bags as a statement against the heavily branded, style-over-substance coffee scene at the time, we founded the Art Bag Project in 2013. As the name implies, artists are commissioned to strut their stuff on our 1KG Blend coffee bags. We rotate a new artist every quarter. Through both artist and our own coffee eyes, this constant updating, planning and creating speaks volumes about how we treat the coffee that goes inside the bag, ever fresh with vibrant new taste.
ARTIST NO.37
Adam Leng
Not unlike the handmade loaves from his local, Bread Social, Art Bag No.37 came together the same way, organically, through layered mark-making, balancing pressure and precision. For Adam, coffee is a ritual. Not the caffeine hit, it's the slowdown. Getting into the studio, putting music on, settling in. "Some of my favourite conversations and ideas have happened over coffee," he says.
