ARTOFTHECITY Competition

Awarded Third Place

 Coffee cup design

Location

Nairobi, Kenya

Type

Competition

I received third place in the renowned #ARTOFTHECITY competition, where my coffee cup design was sold in all Artcaffe locations across the whole of Kenya. 

The premise of this competition was to generate a design that embodies the vibrancy and essence of Kenya. The task was to craft an innovative disposable coffee cup for ArtCaffe, one of Kenya’s most prominent restaurant chains.

My design encapsulated the graffiti-filled Matatu buses, a prominent part of Kenyan public transport that is uniquely significant to the local community. I also included depictions of the celebrated ‘Big 5’ animals - the Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Elephant, and Rhino. To complete the portrayal of Kenya’s diverse culture, I incorporated elements representing the Maasai tribe, known for its rich traditions and heritage.
