A muscular red figure pours coffee beans from a wicker basket onto the starry blue globe below. The composition balances warm terracotta tones against deep celestial blue, while bold yellow lettering announces "Les Cafés du Brésil" across the sphere.
Designed by Leonetto Cappiello in 1932 for the French coffee company Les Cafés du Brésil. Cappiello, known as the father of modern advertising, simplified complex commercial messages into single, bold images during the height of Art Deco design.
The poster belongs to Cappiello's mature period, when his work moved beyond Belle Époque decoration into the streamlined visual language of the 1930s. The global reach of Brazilian coffee becomes theatrical: one figure feeding the world. The saturated palette reflects the confidence of interwar commercial design.
An archival print on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Fine Art Paper, reproduced with museum-quality inks to preserve Cappiello's distinctive colour contrasts and bold graphic impact.
