Collection: The Coffee Makers

«The coffee pot is a ritual, it is a symbol, it is the perfect synthesis between form and function. It is a democratic object , but if used well it grants an elitist and exclusive pleasure. The coffee pot is both a bell tower and a chimney, a small domestic architecture that punctuates the home landscape with its soaring and reassuring presence. Thanks to the coffee maker, all the senses are involved in the coffee experience... Each coffee maker represents the design way of those who designed it, the desire to write a definitive word, knowing that they cannot, regarding the design of an element that embodies unequivocally the Italian way of life." Giulio Iacchetti (The Masters' Coffee Pots, 2019 Milan)

«The boiling water rises slowly and meets the magic threshold, through which the water becomes coffee. The magical transformation of water into coffee inside a coffee maker pushed me to transfer the ritual, magical and symbolic value to the purely physical process. Two identical cones are joined above and below symmetrically by a long Greek column. The lower cone contains the water to be heated and the upper cone, placed upside down, will have its coffee only after the ritual cheerful passage along the vertical column". Isao Hosoe (moka Mach. Good Design Award 1993. Triennale Museum).
