challenge

La Pavoni, the historic and prestigious Italian coffee machine manufacturer, set out to design a new grinder that would expand its collection while showcasing their finest technology and production expertise. The objective was to utilize high-quality materials to create a high-performance product that honors the brand's prestigious legacy while appealing to contemporary sensibilities.

approach

The design intent was to soften the formal language typically associated with technical appliances in this sector of semi professional coffee grinders, which often rely on rigid, squared geometries. This approach naturally evolved into exploring a vertical form with a more welcoming presence. Drawing inspiration directly from La Pavoni's historic lever machines, the cylinder, a shape deeply rooted in the brand’s identity, was chosen to ensure visual harmony and continuity within the whole collection.

The final product is defined by its chrome-finished aluminum body, visually reinforcing the machine's professional performance while maintaining an inviting presence. With its timeless appeal, the grinder creates a perfect visual harmony, sitting effortlessly alongside both La Pavoni's classic lever machines and more contemporary products.
