Design Challenge: Developing a rich and sensible user experience and integrating the voice assistant properly.
Research: Development process through conceptual and formal research, 3D modelling, physical mock-ups, prototyping.
Inspiration: A unique and easily accessible coffee experience in a compact footprint. The design builds on Lavazza's existing form language and is recognizably Italian in attention to detail, surfacing and CMF. It is characterised by a seamless exterior shell with embossed Lavazza logos on the sides and a prominently placed UI incorporating the voice assistant.
Project Duration: The project was designed in Turin, Italy. The complete product development from initial concept to product launch took about 20 months.
Operation Flow: Voicy is a capsule coffee machine. Insert the capsule on top, place your cup on the grid and make espresso. The UI arranges the selections in two groups: coffee preparation at the bottom and voice assistant controls at the top. Size and temperature of coffee preparations can be personalized and required service is indicated in the centre. The cup rest can be adjusted easily, placing smaller cups closer to the spout. This reduces splashes and benefits coffee temperature and crema. The transparent water tank in the back is easily accessible and removable parts are dishwasher safe.
