Matcha latte, the vibrant green tea beverage made with finely ground matcha powder and milk, has become a global sensation. Its popularity has surged on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, as food enthusiasts are captivated by its aesthetic appeal and numerous health benefits. Beyond being a trendy drink, matcha lattes have also inspired various forms of art and design. A recent example of this trend comes from American artist Kamber Carrol, who created a table design inspired by the swirling patterns and colours of a matcha latte. He shared a glimpse of the creative process on Instagram.
The video begins with Kamber placing a tumbler-shaped wooden block on the table. He shaves the wood to create a smoother surface, then paints green swirls to mimic the creamy, frothy texture of the beverage. Next, Kamber pours resin onto the tabletop to create a spill or puddle effect. He decorates the lid with ice-cube-like crystals and spray-paints a large straw in the same green colour. Finally, he attaches the lid to complete the matcha latte table.
