• Dragon Rouge Studio designed the packaging system for Ministerio del Café, a specialty coffee brand focused on transparency.
• The packs feature intricate pointillist insect illustrations by artist Steeven Salvat.
• A minimal off-white palette, refined typography, and subtle color accents create a sophisticated design that blends fine art inspiration with functional specialty coffee packaging.

I’m the first to argue that packaging design is an artform. But, at first glance, Ministerio del Café’s packaging looks more like something you’d find framed on a gallery wall than next to your coffee machine. It’s something even Georges Seurat, the founder of pointillism, might recognize as kin.

Dragon Rouge Studio has transformed specialty coffee into a packaging system that tells the story of everyone involved in bringing coffee from farm to cup, including the smallest and often overlooked contributors—bugs.
