Vinarþel
Beautifully intricate stencils embellish everything from cappuccinos to cakes
Australian illustrator Megan Herbert brings her sketches to coffee with a set of intricately laser-cut stencils intended for bedecking coffees and cakes, dubbed Vinarþel. With an image of knitting and a pastoral landscape, the Reykjavik-based designer enhances the Scandinavian custom of connecting over coffee and a nosh for a good—often juicy—heart to heart.
The two designs speak to Iceland’s great landscape and heritage too and readily translate onto icing, froth or any other medium that Vinarþel inspires.
Vinarþel stencils sell for €25 a set from Herbert’s website or from Vopnabúrið, where you can pick up her conceptually beautiful wrapping paper or gift cards.
