The Design

About Gm11a Kaffemaskine

GM11A har et internationalt udseende, men er stadig genkendelig italiensk i udførelse og finish. Geometriske og simple volumener harmonerer med detaljerne, der afslører en italiensk sjæl. Touch-grænsefladen giver et afsluttende indtryk af moderne teknologi på et traditionelt produkt.
