Cafe au lait Sculpture

Refuse Series – Limited Edition #6/15

“Café au Lait”

Handcrafted in smooth epoxy resin and generously filled with real coffee beans—beautifully visible and textured at the base, grounding this little chimpanzee in the rich, aromatic ritual of morning.

Every day begins the same way: the quiet pour of dark roast meeting creamy milk, steam rising, the world slowly waking up. “Café au Lait” captures exactly that gentle, comforting start— the chimpanzee in quiet contentment, embodying the simple luxury of a perfectly balanced cup. The upper body flows in soft, milky white, reminiscent of fresh milk swirling into coffee, elevated with a delicate coat of mother-of-pearl medium that catches the light with a subtle, iridescent glow—like the first sip's warm shimmer on a chilly morning.

More than a sculpture, it's a small daily reminder: that the best moments often arrive in the familiar, unhurried routine of brewing and sipping, one bean and one drop at a time.

• Dimensions: 11.5 × 21 × 11.5 cm
