Nutella Esperienza Italia 150- 04.10.11
I couldn’t resist. I was totally that girl in the tiny supermarket in the huge line buying 4 jars of Nutella tonight. I mean, these limited edition Nutella Esperienza Italia 150 glasses were cute when they came up on NOTCOT.org, but renders are one thing. These are even more awesome in person! Fun glasses for just about anything… filled with nutella… celebrating Italian unity - specifically DESIGN, Arts, Landscapes & Architecture, and History! On fun design week souveniers, the design themed €1.79 glass of nutella is pretty sweet (even AFTER you eat the nutella)… The story? “Nutella wanted to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of italian Unity together with millions of Italian families and asked ARC’s. to interpretate the project in four themes: Arts, Design, Landscapes & Architecture, Historical topics. Through the “Esperienza Italia 150” limited edition collection, Nutella ideally embraces all italians, from the South to the North, as a sole big family.” Above is a render of the 4 glasses in the set from ARC’s… but on the next page, take a peek at close ups of them all!
p.s. Don’t mind the bizarre hotel/motel feel of the photos… it’s how it feels in here!
The quad all together…
The traditional Nutella labels hold tightly, but a little water takes the glue right off…
These rubber lids slip on snuggly to each glass. (Do the stars make anyone else think of the Care Bears?)
The design one is truly awesome, really they all are, but this one is certainly my favorite ~ from the vespa and duomo, to the brain popping out ideas, adorable scissors and cut out line…
Here are some close ups from the others…
The graphics that wrap around each glass… a bit easier to see how it all flows this way!
Of course, by the time i finished taking pics… i had to dig in!

Hi, I just picke up all 4 glasses at my local Italian specialty store here in Staten Island NY. The place is called La Bella’s on Ellis Street and is an AWESOME place if you LOVE Italian Specialty foods. The glasses were $3.49 each, and YES, I do like Nutella, but I just had to have these glasses. Good Luck finding them as they are going fast. If you search ebay Italy, there are people selling them, in fact 1 person is selling the complete set
