“Home Sweet Home” Coffee Maker.
Behind a seemingly simple cup of coffee prepared with the coffee maker, there are our home, our traditions, our roots.

This Coffee Maker represents a ritual of daily life. It’s unique identity and familiarity are the product of not only its original silhouette and materiality, but also of its classic shape and the inimitable creaking noise it emits when you twist it off.

Strolling down the city center, my attention gets attracted by the “Casa della Pesa”: its shape brings me back to a warm and cozy home and, at the same time, it truly resembles the one of a coffee maker. The lower part of the building, indeed, looks like the sharp boiler, the upper part resembles the jug and finally the characteristic roof looks like the wonderful and well-decorated lid of the coffee maker.

My creation has birth right from here: “Home Sweet Home”, a wonderful coffee maker equipped with delicious little windows through which you’ll be able to check the water level in the boiler and the coffee level in the jug.

Preparing a cup of coffee with the “Home Sweet Home” coffee maker, will surely bring you back to your “Home Sweet Home”.

my part of the project: this is the part which holds to the ceiling and its shaped like the bottom part of the moka

Hybrid objects mixed together EXPLODED
The idea from this project comes from the interesting contrast between the industrial aspect of the pallet and the moka and the retro feeling the lantern.
Combining these three obiect we came up with this chandelier made by the bottom part of the moka which holds to the
ceiling, then a pallet box structure where strings go through and the lights at the end.
Three lanterns will hang from the pallet lighting up
your living or dining room.
