Latte art experienced a huge boom in the past few years, with many artists trying to take it to new heights. Runa Pocket is one of the best latte artists that you’ll ever come across and she specializes in touchable 3D latte art, which often takes shape of the beloved animated characters.
Runa Pocket is the project of the Japanese artist Runa Kato, who embarked on this journey in 2018 and currently works as the manager at the world’s first 3D latte art café. She described herself as a “latte artist who creates a lot of happiness with a cup of latte”, with a special accent on touchable latte art.
This means you can give her latte art creations a little push and watch them move in the cup, while still staying in one piece. To make the whole thing even more adorable, her art is often inspired by the beloved characters in our favorite animated movies, and that’s part of the reason why she’s followed by over 70,000 people on Instagram.
Runa’s latte art often pays homage to Japanese anime, often taking shape of Pokémon and characters from Hayao Miyazaki’s movies. She doesn’t shy away from exploring western popular culture, as well, mostly focusing on Disney classics.
