Uncover a rare gem of advertising history with this original poster for ORELIA, an offshoot brand of the iconic Orangina, created and distributed by Orangina itself. Crafted in the 1980s, this poster is a testament to the imaginative design genius of Bernard Villemot.
ORELIA, the orange-flavored soft-drink, made its debut in the United States in 1978 under that name. However, in 1985, the name ORELIA was abandoned in favor of the original Orangina branding, adding an intriguing layer of historical significance to this artwork.
Measuring a substantial 33.5 x 24.5 inches, this offset lithograph on linen captures the essence of ORELIA’s unique identity. The brand’s connection to Orangina and its brief foray under the name ORELIA in the United States add to its intrigue. It represents a fascinating chapter in the world of beverages and advertising.
