From the classic moka pot by Alfonso Bialetti to the coffee makers designed by Michele De Lucchi, Tom Dixon, Isao Hosoe, King-Kong Design, Piero Lissoni, Angelo Mangiarotti, Alessandro Mendini, Gaetano Pesce, Ettore Sottsass, and Marco Zanuso. Crush Coffee 120 and 300 gsm, ecological paper by Favini made using coffee processing by-products that replace up to 15% of virgin tree pulp.
Twenty-four coffee makers illustrating different interpretations of the classic Moka, the steam-pressure coffee pot invented in the first half of the twentieth century - an iconic object that unmistakably embodies the Italian way of life.
Twenty-four design exercises completed by architects and designers that demonstrate how essential the theme of the moka pot is in a designer’s career. As Mendini says: “Every great architect has attempted to design one; they aspire to build a coffee maker just as, before dying, they would like to build a tower”.
