Coffee has a way of revealing life in its quietest, most unguarded moments. Published by Standart, A Measure of Life: Coffee Moments from the Past Century gathers 185 archival photographs from the past century, tracing how this simple ritual has shaped mornings, conversations, relationships, and rhythms across generations.
Curated by designer and curator David Miró, with foreword from Japanese artist Jun Iwasaki, our new book pairs iconic imagery with overlooked fragments of everyday life. Across three chapters: Patience, Pleasure, and Bliss—it moves through kitchens, cafés, caravans, film sets, and city corners, finding poetry in the ordinary.
