Blue Bottle Coffee x HUMAN MADE

Unveiling an Exclusive Collaboration

Coffee awakens every corner of our culture, from poetry and art to fashion and music. In our collaborations, we seek to join forces with like-minded leaders in complementary creative realms who share our passion for coffee and for pushing boundaries in their creative pursuits. 

Starting April 2021, Blue Bottle is launching a series of collaborations with NIGO® founder of cult streetwear brands A Bathing Ape and HUMAN MADE, which he co-founded with Pharrell Williams. A visionary creative, NIGO® is a multifaceted force whose talents include design, photography, curation, and music production. The astute strategist has a unique perspective on the multilayered and ever-changing fashion industry. His previous collaborations include Adidas and Louis Vuitton.

A devoted coffee aficionado, NIGO® is a longtime regular at the Blue Bottle cafe in Nakameguro, Tokyo, located near his office headquarters. He has also taken coffee-brewing lessons with Blue Bottle teams in Japan. His designs for HUMAN MADE are rooted in the street styles of the Tokyo neighborhood of Shibuya. 

In celebration of our first Shibuya cafe opening in Tokyo, NIGO® created a capsule collection for Blue Bottle, including a T-shirt and cap. We have also worked together to create a new limited-edition coffee, the Blue Bottle Coffee x HUMAN MADE Future Blend. The coffee, baseball cap, and T-shirt will be available for purchase in our Shibuya cafe and on our Japan and US online sites (bluebottlecoffee.com and bluebottlecoffee.jp) starting April 20th.
