🛠 About the product / Function

This decorative Van Nelle tin is a 1990s reissue of the well-known shop tin originally used for storing coffee and tea. Thanks to its generous size, it is ideal for storing coffee, tea, or other dry goods.

It also serves as a true eye-catcher in the kitchen, cupboard, or display. The clean design and distinctive typography give the tin a timeless and recognisable appearance.

🏭 Manufacturer & history

The design is based on the work of designer Jac. Jongert (1883–1942), who was responsible for Van Nelle’s modern and highly recognisable visual identity.

The original shop tins date from approximately 1930–1950 and were produced by manufacturers including Wed. J. Bekkers & Zoon. Today, these tins are sought-after collectors’ items.

Van Nelle itself has a rich history dating back to 1782 in Rotterdam, where it began as a shop selling coffee, tea, and tobacco, and grew into an internationally recognised brand.
