脫殼 — 意外綻放的花香
Hulling& Polishing— Unexpected blooming floral fragrance
// Colombia Montoya源於哥倫比亞的烏拉約城鎮(Urrao)，由女士Carmen經營的農場出產，該女士擁有 19,000 株品種為 Caturra Chiroso 的植物, 這是出現在安蒂奧基亞地區上突變的新品種，呈現出花香和柑橘的特徵。
插畫以植物突變為主題，再注入奇幻元素。果實在玻璃氧氣罩內拉開皮囊，哥倫比亞的變種花——金黃嘉德麗亞蘭（Cattleya Aurea）從咖啡豆中蛻殼而出，美麗綻放，這亦展現了咖啡的脫殼工序。金屬的枝葉在旁襯托，為玻璃罩注入養份，月光銀配上金屬金，為空間染上蒸氣朋克的色彩。框邊的花紋靈感源自哥倫比亞Chiva Bus的車身圖騰，與主體組合成奇幻化的哥倫比亞風格。

Plant mentation is used as the theme of graphics, supplemented by fantasy elements. Cattleya Aurea, a Columbia flower breed from mentation, is beautifully blooming from shelling. The blossom resembles the hulling process of coffee beans. Metal branches and leaves that give oxygen and life to the flower recall the aesthetics of steampunk. The rebellious match of moon-beam silver and metallic gold is a big blow to the viewers. The ornaments inspired by artisan rustic Chiva Bus on the frame complete the drawings’ Colombian style with extra imagination.

About Coffee Fantasy
// 咖啡源自阿拉伯語 “kaweh”，有「力量」以及「活力」的意思，如今更成為世界上最受歡迎的飲品之一。
不論歷史的悠久，每一顆咖啡豆都必定經由一班咖啡農悉心栽種。有趣的是，地域界限與文化差異竟會直接影響咖啡豆的味道。
因此，Never-Never 團隊在約兩年前萌生了一個瘋狂的念頭。嘗試透過融合插畫、傳統印刷及AR科技，以一個跨越時代與文化的新角度去觀看不同咖啡豆的故事。設計構思以13款咖啡卡組成一個系列，每張代表一項咖啡豆的製作工序，閱讀咖啡卡能同時了解咖啡的生成故事。裝飾邊框及背景設計，是從原產地的文化風俗、傳統衣飾、民族圖案、建築物圖騰及地理環境等方面獲取靈感。
「事物總有源起，了解事物的過去才能感受其珍貴之處。」
這是今次專案的理念，透過觀看及了解各種咖啡豆的故事及起源，自然就會發現手上這杯咖啡的珍貴之處。
// Coffee originates from the Arabic word 'kaweh' meaning strength or vigour, and it has become one of the world's most popular drinks nowadays. Every single coffee bean is undoubtedly the result of the efforts of local farmers. What's more interesting is that the geographical environment and culture of the region can somehow affect the taste of coffee. As [a] coffee-loving designer, we hope to visualise these unseen parts with fine illustration.
The Never-Never team is introducing you to a creative approach to storytelling — the merge of illustrations, traditional printing and advanced AR (Augmented Reality) technology. The set of 13 Coffee Poster each represents a step of coffee bean handling, narrating the process of how coffee is grown and made.
