To mark the 10th anniversary of the KURLAND currywurst cup, Berlin-based artist Charlotte Adam brings her signature illustrations to this modern KURLAND classic with her “Eating Emotions” edition. The collaboration arose from a residency that Charlotte Adam completed at the Meistermalerei studio in the Manufaktur am Tiergarten in the spring of 2024, and she exhibited her work during the most recent Gallery Weekend.

Edible emotions in the form of gherkins, sausage and French fries: artist Charlotte Adam knows how to convey great feelings in her works with simple motifs. "Food is not only essential for every human being, but also has great symbolic power. In addition to pure food intake and as a stimulant, culinary culture also stands for identity, rituals, creativity, care, power, communication and social status," says Adam.
She’s really struck a chord: The editions celebrating the joys of indulgence that the Berlin artist releases sell out in the blink of an eye, and her still lifes grace the covers of highly anticipated books. For her collaboration with KPM Berlin, she showcases the currywurst bowls from the KURLAND collection with two motifs—the bowl’s base is adorned, alongside her signature cucumber, with happy French fries and content-looking sausages. And because everything comes to an end—except for the sausage, which has two—there’s a love message on the back : “I like Dish” and “I need Dish” are written there—a play on words right up our alley.
The KURLAND currywurst cups from the “Eating Emotions” collection are limited to the year 2025.
