Nespresso is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, and operates as a subsidiary of Nestle, positioned in the capsule coffee market with machines built around its own aluminum pods and known for margins closer to the luxury goods industry than to mass-market coffee. This tabletop styling shoot was built around a series of coffee tributes, Nespresso’s term for recipes pairing specific capsules with complementary flavors. Each setup paired a capsule’s color palette with the spices, fruit or other ingredients referenced in that tribute, staged across two distinct settings: a Palermo-inspired tasting bar built around citrus and warmth, and a Milano-inspired ingredient board leaning into a more classic espresso presentation.
