Harriete Estel Berman made this sculptural coffee set from found metal containers, such as candy tins. She cut the tins into pieces and assembled the pieces with rivets. Berman created a yellow and black pattern from the product name printed on the tin: Penguin Caffeinated Peppermints. She used the actual peppermints to fill the coffee cups.
Caffeinated Arrangement was part of The Artful Teapot, a large exhibition of the Kamm Teapot Collection that toured North America from 2002 – 2006.
