For Milan Design Week 2026, John Blond reinterpreted Faema’s iconic E61 and Faemina coffee machines through his signature Noodles, bringing contemporary art into dialogue with the brand’s industrial heritage. Presented at the Faema Flagship in the Tortona District, the collaboration extended to exclusive tote bags and numbered, hand-painted posters, alongside live painting sessions and “Breakfast with the Artist”. Both machines subsequently entered the permanent collection of MUMAC, the Cimbali Group’s museum in Binasco, home to the world’s largest collection of coffee machines.
