The collection, inspired by a creative “mashup” project to celebrate 100 years of the iconic Coca-Cola bottle. In 2014, Coca-Cola Design invited more than 130 designers and artists from around the world to reimagine iconic artwork featuring the bottle from the last 100 years and design a poster using only Coke red, black and white. The result is a stunning array of “mash-up” artwork introduced in February as part of a global campaign celebrating the 100th anniversary of the iconic glass bottle. All 200 mashup posters can be found on Instagram: @mashupcoke. Many of the #MashupCoke designs are featured in the licensing collection, which includes: Kiss the Past Hello, a limited-edition book published by Assouline celebrating the rich history of the Coca-Cola bottle as interpreted by designers and artists. The book is available in select retailers and online here. A collection of BECKSÖNDERGAARD scarves and bags by Christian Montenegro, Ashley Tipton for Coca-Cola Design and Paul Meates of Droga5 will be available online. The Danish accessories brand is known for a vibrant color palette and unique hand-drawn prints. A fashionable set of FRENDS headphone covers designed by HI (NY) Design, Chris Weston/forpeople and Ashley Tipton for Coca-Cola Design is available here. By creating products and experiences that blend fashion, technology and music, FRENDS has emerged as a must-have brand for fashion electronics. A “Mash-Up” collection of Herschel Supply Co.’s Little America and Heritage backpacks, along with the Novel duffle, Anchor laptop sleeve, Charlie wallet and Chapter travel kit featuring a custom print designed by Chris Weston/forpeople will be available at Coca-Cola retail stores. An innovative Moleskine journal designed by David Schwen of Dschwen LLC is available online.
