Cachou Lajaunie (1920) - Smoky mint glamour Cachou Lajaunie is a vintage advertising poster, for the famous French liquorice and mint pastilles, designed by Leonetto Cappiello. The figure faces us, with vivid red hair and pale skin, holding a cigarette in one hand and the small yellow tin of Cachou Lajaunie in the other. A plume of smoke curls into three soft shapes against a dark green background, while the dress made of yellow and red “petals” turns the lower half of the poster into something close to abstraction when seen from across the room. The product appears as a gesture: a tiny box that promises to swap tobacco breath for a sweet, minty note. In a contemporary setting this poster holds its own near a drinks shelf, in a dining area, around a wine and cocktail station or on the wall of a characterful city bar or bistro. At Art Punch, Cachou Lajaunie comes as a high quality art print on paper or canvas, to keep the greens deep, the reds hot, and the image crisp from across the room. Show more
