About Lavazza Tiny Eco Aparat Za Espresso

Lavazza nastavlja svoju predanost održivosti lansiranjem Tiny Eco, svog prvog aparata za kavu izrađenog od reciklirane plastike i kapsula za kavu koje se mogu kompostirati. Ukupna procjena životnog ciklusa, potrošnja energije i razina buke bili su važni aspekti u procesu razvoja proizvoda. Dizajniran s puno ljubavi u Italiji, slavi svoj mediteranski identitet s pažnjom na detalje, boje i završnu obradu. Oblik je napravljen od volumena koji se presijecaju kako bi se smanjila vizualna masa. Jednostavan je i lagan za korištenje. Samo jedan dodir i samo nekoliko sekundi. Uživati!

Design Challenge: Tiny Eco has just been launched and is replacing a successful product. It is the smallest member of the A Modo Mio range. It is the baby of the family and an entry level product. Easily accessible and priced competitively. But definitely not cheap. The design has a lot of personality, is well executed, and builds on the existing Lavazza form language. It manages the use of recycled plastic while maintaining the same high standard for aesthetics and perceived quality.
Research: Development process through conceptual and formal research, 3D modelling, physical mock-ups, prototyping.
Inspiration: Tiny Eco has a compact footprint and is easy to read and use. The overall shape is well structured and separated into two intersecting volumes to reduce visual mass and evoke a sense of stability and purpose. While the elegant, sinuous front is colourful the rear remains black supporting the easily accessible water tank and showing glossy Lavazza logos on the sides. The frontal pattern repeats the typical horizontal theme present on Lavazza products.
Project Duration: The project was designed in Turin, Italy. The complete product development from initial concept to final product took about two years.
Operation Flow: Lavazza Tiny Eco is simple and easy to set up and use. The transparent water tank is giving immediate visual feedback, so you will know when to refill. The cup rest can be removed for tall cups and smaller cups remain closer to the spout. This reduces splashes and benefits coffee temperature and crema. The backlit Stop and Go button, emphasized visually by its shape, is placed prominently on top and lets you choose how much coffee you want. Only a few seconds and just one touch. Enjoy!
