COLLAB: Introducing Our 3rd Artist in the Kākano Series: Rory Carlyle

At Zephyr, we believe creativity inspires connection — and some of our favourite collaborations spark from the youngest voices in our community. Today, we’re proud to introduce the newest artist in our ongoing partnership with Kākano Youth Arts Collective: 14‑year‑old Rory Carlyle.

Rory’s work steps boldly into colour, rhythm and movement. Their design — featured on our Architect and Blacksmith Espresso blends — is a vibrant interplay of sweeping organic shapes layered over precise, structured linework. The contrast is striking: freedom meeting form, instinct meeting intention. It’s artwork that feels alive, full of energy, and distinctly their own.
