designer cups


Africablack commissioned top local designers to explore their subconscious and see what coffee inspired thoughts were evoked. These designs are available for a limited time only and can be bought exclusively from Africblack or obtained free of charge when purchasing espresso equipment.



LADY AND THE LION

LADY AND THE LION | Mariette Theron
Provocoffee inspires dreams of wide-open plains where African lions roam as freely as the mind. It’s a journey of the sense into an uncharted landscape of burning adventure and steamy desire.


BLACK

BLACK | Gemma Hamilton
Indulge in a fantasy world of escapism where you can be who you want to be, express what’s on your mind and act on the whimsy of your heart. Provocoffee gives you unconditional permission to be unfettered by social convention.


WANNA COME UP FOR COFFEE?

WANNA COME UP FOR COFFEE? | Lynette Lawley-Day
Inviting someone in for a cup of coffee at the conclusion of a date is universally understood to be shorthand for “I want to seduce you, but will you let me?” In celebration of the art of provocoffee, this downright sexy and tongue-in-cheek social networking phrase is brought to life in black and white.


DOMINOES

DOMINOES | Renay Kneale
The domino board is the battleground of the minds. Fuelled by steaming cups of AfricaBlack - it’s where unexpected friendships are forged and foes are defined. Join the dots and create the connections, all with a little help from provocoffee.


ASTERISK

ASTERISK | Gemma Hamilton
An asterisk denotes that there is something more: a hidden meaning, an additional thought at play. Deals are negotiated daily over cups of steaming coffee - be they business, friendship or lovers terms of engagement. Provocoffee is a celebration of this underlying current of hidden agendas and masked passions.


DANCING SILHOUETTES

DANCING SILHOUETTES | Gemma Hamilton
The human existence is lonely if lived in isolation. Friendships add texture, a point of reference and a source of unbridled energy. What better way to make a connection with someone new than over a cup of steaming AfricaBlack.
