Pain & Other Recyclables - Chocolate Bar

Our first international artist tin! For Survival Kit 17, we collaborated with Icelandic artist Egill Sæbjörnsson to create a special edition of one of our most loved coffees: Chocolate Bar. The tin was created to accompany “Pain & Other Recyclables”, an installation by Ágústa Oddsdóttir, Egill Sæbjörnsson and Mosi Kristjáns. Drawings, video animations and even crayons form an imaginary landscape that also becomes a café, based on Egill Sæbjörnsson’s “Espressobar” series. And this time, we became part of the artwork too! The installation also carries the legacy of Sigríður Björnsdóttir, one of the pioneers of art therapy: “I believe that art is intrinsic to all people, young and old. We all have the ability to experience and react by expressing without thinking. This has to do with getting in touch with and harnessing the creative force that lies within us all.” Thank you to the artists and the Survival Kit team for inviting us into this special project! Discover “Pain & Other Recyclables” at Survival Kit 17 in Riga Congress Hall until 27 September. Our special edition tin is available online and at our coffee shops in Riga!
