In partnership with Florentine coffee institution LA MARZOCCO, we present a limited-edition collaboration inspired by the art of the morning ritual.

Bringing together Brazilian lifestyle design and Italian espresso heritage, the partnership spans a limited-edition capsule collection, bespoke handcrafted pieces and an immersive experiential concept inspired by the Cafezinho - literally translated as “little coffee”, but carrying a wider cultural significance in Brazil as a ritual of hospitality, pause and connection. Launching throughout June 2026 across Florence, Paris and London, the collaboration unfolds through Cafezinho Carioca - a series of experiential coffee-led touchpoints celebrating the shared cultural language between Brazilian leisure and Italian coffee culture.

At the centre of the collaboration sits a limited-edition capsule collection designed for slow mornings and the rituals that surround them. Rooted in a shared appreciation for craftsmanship and considered living, the collection reflects the meeting of two brands shaped by heritage and artisanal design. Founded in honour of the handcrafted frescobol bats first played on Copacabana Beach in 1945, we have long celebrated the culture of leisure, while LA MARZOCCO’s heritage in precision-engineered espresso machines has made the Italian brand a defining name within global coffee craftsmanship. 

Grounded in our signature resortwear codes, the collection introduces elevated sleepwear, linen robes, linen-blend swim shorts, T-shirts and accessories. Our signature Italian-woven linen and lyocell blend is chosen for its lightweight breathability, fluid drape and soft hand feel suited to warm-weather living. Designed with versatility and ease in mind, silhouettes move effortlessly across settings, routines and wearers, reflecting the relaxed rhythm of a Carioca morning. Finished in bespoke Espresso and Cappuccino colourways, the capsule is unified through hand-drawn Cabana Wave print - inspired by the undulating tiles of Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana calçadão. Created in partnership with mobile coffee community, Café Nice, the collaboration also includes limited-edition graphic T-shirts and caps, further extending the collaboration’s experiential world.

Branching into collectible design, we introduce a limited-edition set of handcarved Trancoso frescobol bats, alongside a series of bespoke espresso and cappuccino cups illustrated with scenes inspired by Brazilian Cafezinho culture. LA MARZOCCO’s iconic Linea Mini espresso machine also receives a bespoke reinterpretation inspired by the artisanal construction of our eponymous frescobol bats. Produced as an exclusive made-to-order release, each machine incorporates interlocking wooden elements and wave-inspired detailing referencing the coastline of Rio de Janeiro.

Anchoring the launch is Cafezinho Carioca at Pitti Uomo: an immersive coffee shop and showroom designed as a place of pause within the pace of the fair. Conceived as both a place to go and a moment that comes to you, Cafezinho Carioca brings together Brazilian leisure and Italian espresso culture, inviting industry, press and partners into the world of the collaboration through coffee, conversation and hospitality.

“Cafezinho Carioca explores the shared rituals surrounding coffee, craftsmanship and leisure,” says Harry Brantly, CEO & Co-Founder of FRESCOBOL CARIOCA. “Both brands share a deep appreciation for artisanal process - whether that’s crafting the perfect espresso or handcrafting a frescobol bat designed to bring people together. At its heart, the collaboration celebrates those slower moments of connection that are intrinsic to both Brazilian and Italian culture.”

More than a product collaboration, the partnership unites Brazilian leisure culture and Italian espresso craftsmanship through ritual, experience and collectible design - positioning coffee as a shared moment of pause across fashion, design and culture.
