Happy New Year!












2012 is upon us, and in typical SPRESSO fashion, we wanted to celebrate. Introducing the SPRESSO calendar for 2012! Designed by SPRESSO and hand letterpressed by Passepartout Press. Each month features a quirky saying from a foreign land, and a translation in English. It also comes with stickers so you can wall-mount the current month...or all 15 pages if you prefer. The calendar will soon be available for purchase on our site SPRESSO.NL or if you just can't wait, email us at info@spresso.nl to get your copy.








Curious about the letterpress process? Or interested in getting something designed and/or letterpressed yourself? Contact us at info@spresso.nl or info@passepartoutpress.com

Dancing on the walls.



Went to Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven and had a blast! So much to see and experience and be inspired by. Check out the opening film directed and produced by Marijke de Bie of Cicada Studio. Amazing.

That's right. SPRESSO went on holiday to Italy! Lerici, Porto Venere, and the Cinque Terre to be exact. And while we loved the food, the wine and the gorgeous scenery; we were a bit disappointed to find SOOOOO many tourists ordering food in their native tongue.

C'mon! Is "Una pizza con funghi, per favore," so difficult to try? I mean, it's written on the menu.

Gauche tourists aside, Italy was as beautiful and delicious as could be expected and we were a bit sad to see the rain beating outside our window upon landing in Schiphol. But, as always, happy to be back in the old NL and happy to be back at our little thinktank! Want to see more? Go to our web album here.

Grazie! Ciao Bella!

Behance Dance.


We've been updating our Behance portfolio with some great stuff. Take a look! Of particular note is our hot off the presses identity for CupCakeChic! They're a yummy cupcake patisserie in the Hague, and we worked in conjunction with Zondagontwerpers to develop the identity, look and feel of the brand. Check it out!
