The name Mazagran comes from the cold coffee drink with roots in Algeria and French café culture, a refreshing mixture traditionally associated with coffee, ice, and citrus.
The design takes that idea as a starting point rather than illustrating it literally. Its dense layers of saturated orange, blue, green, pink, and black have the heat and intensity of North Africa, mixed with the visual energy of European café culture and city streets. Brushstrokes, fragmented forms, and overlapping marks create the feeling of accumulated experiences, like painted walls, faded posters, patterned textiles, and objects collected while traveling.
