October 27th, 2015 – A trusted and handy travel companion, Moleskine is the legendart black notebook used by artists and intellectuals. Today Moleskine – which in French means “leather imitation” – is not only a notebook brand that makes diaries, travel guides, books and albums. The Italian company based in Milan creates, produces and distributes a range of objects for the creativity of the modern nomad. A nomad that can now take a break at the Geneva airport with the “Moleskine Café”. Moleskine has announced the opening of a refreshment stand in the airport of the Swiss city in partnership with Caviar House Premium Airport (Chap), a subsidiary of Caviar House & Prunier (primary operator in the management of food and beverage chains through brands such as Caviar House & Prunier Seafood Bar and Montreux Jazz Café). The Moleskine Café, whose opening is expected in December, will bring together the founding values of the Moleskine brand with Chap’s expertise, creating a unique project: an inspired environment by creativity where customers can find high quality coffee. Inside the Café, Moleskine will manage every element linked to its brand while Chap, thanks to the experience in the food business within travel retail, will follow operational management operations. Moleskine’s revenues for the project will be represented by royalties. Arrigo Berni, CEO of Moleskine stressed: “We are excited about this collaboration with Chap, a recognized leader in this sector. Through this initiative, we want to begin exploring possible branching out of our retail concept through the identification of an offer that goes beyond that of our traditional products. Creativity, exploration and design are the core values at Moleskine, elements that add a unique and distinctive element to the traditional café format, while our products will find an ideal location in the socio-cultural characteristic of a coffee house. ” (Red)
