Albanian artist makes world’s largest coffee bean mosaic
Albanian artist Saimir Strati has created the world’s largest coffee bean mosaic.
Saimir entered the Guinness World Records for using 140 kilograms of coffee beans to produce a 25-metre mosaic, Reuters reported this week.
Saimir’s coffee bean mosaic is his sixth entry in the Guinness World Records. His other designs include a portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci with nails, a galloping horse with toothpicks, the Mediterranean with wine bottle corks, singer Michael Jackson with paint brushes and the Greek poet Homer with industrial screws.
The mosaic, sponsored by Lori Kafe, one of Albania’s main coffee companies, consists of roasted black and raw beans.
The image depicts five musicians, including a Brazilian dancer, a Japanese drummer, a US country music singer, a European accordionist and an African drummer.
“I wanted to give the message that sharing love over a cup of coffee brings us closer, a cup of coffee brings us more love than a G20 meeting,” Saimir says. “One world, one family, over a cup of coffee.”
