April Utility
April Utility Clothing was created as part of the April brand Family, including April Coffee Roasters, April Media & April Utility Clothing.
After years of roasting coffee, Patrik Rolf asked himself what he could do to provide the team with workwear clothing to use in the roastery. It's an environment that requires clothing that is durable and most of all functional. With that in mind, it was also crucial that the design would represent April's aesthetics. Initially, he collaborated with clothing brands, but soon realised there was an opportunity to design and produce their own clothing and be as creative as possible.
Check out the 3 collections below.
Designed in Copenhagen,
Produced in Seoul.

From Nerd To Pro - A Coffee Journey
Launched via Kickstarter in February of 2022, this book contains lessons and experiences from Patrik Rolf's first decade of work in the coffee industry. You get to follow how and why he started working with coffee, how he learned how to roast coffee, start his own business, and earn a silver medal in the World Brewers Cup.
The book aims to give you the tools and inspiration to start your journey from Nerd to Pro.
April x Buaisou
Buaisou, a distinguished Japanese company founded in 2015, has garnered acclaim for its mastery of Indigo Dyeing, a traditional craft deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
As long-time admirers of their craftsmanship, we have forged a fruitful relationship over the years. Through this collaboration, we have had the pleasure of curating and releasing a carefully selected range of items in partnership with Buaisou, including uniquely designed bandanas and intricately crafted coasters. These collaborations exemplify our shared commitment to celebrating artistry and heritage through thoughtful design and meticulous craftsmanship.
April Posters
In 2023, while searching for the perfect posters to adorn the walls of our offices, we decided to take a creative approach and produce our own series.
Collaborating closely with our talented graphic designer, Max Duchardt, we embarked on this artistic project to bring a unique and personal touch to our workspace.
April in Taipei
In November 2023 we have been given the chance to take residency at the VG House in Taipei, where we served over 1500 people in 3 days.
The April Wood brewer
This summer 2024, we have finally release our latest addition to the April brewer family: The April brewer in Oakwood.
After a couple of years of research and development, we have finally been able to make this dream come true.
April Organic
Organic Coffee is something that we discussed for a long time and until today always opted against for the main reason that the taste quality isn’t as high as the alternative.
There are challenges and question marks around the actual certification process at origin. There is different rules depending on what country you are looking at and there is more then one way to get certified. But based on our increased understanding of farming and trading that comes as a result of the partner farm relationships we have we have decided to explore Organic Coffee further.
There is no doubt in our minds that Organic Coffee should be a part of the future and we believe that investing in making it become a reality holds a lot of value for us and the industry at large.
