In 2021, KAWS partnered with Italian olive oil producer Agricola Due Leoni to create a limited run of 500 illustrated 500 ml tins. The collaboration merged contemporary pop art with the tradition of Mediterranean craftsmanship.

The Edition (2021)
Each tin features KAWS’s Companion partially submerged in a minimalist line-drawn seascape, printed directly on the metallic surface. The design translates his graphic language from his painting “TIDE” into a functional object, elevating an everyday kitchen staple into a collectible. (1)

Availability & Pricing
Originally priced at €100 through Due Leoni’s online store, the edition sold out shortly after release. Today, secondary market prices hover around $500 depending on condition and provenance. (1)

Why It Matters
The project stands out as an example of how KAWS’ work can live outside galleries and apparel, bringing his aesthetic into the rituals of daily life without losing its cultural impact.
