Carnago (VA), Italy
Patrizio Cionfoli, Eric Loiseau, Massimo Battaglia, and Marco Binaghi of Studio Volpi develop a conceptual and high-performance coffee machine, on behalf of Swiss coffee machine experts Schaerer that offers top-notch design quality and exceptional user interfaces.
Schaerer Coffee Soul aims to enhance its performance through the expression of professionalism.
This new design comes in two models offering three user interfaces according to the needs of each professional venue with high-quality workmanship, clever lighting, and aesthetic color details.
This project has been awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Adaptable to client individual needs, it comes with a choice of user interfaces to match different ways of operating the machine: staff, self-serving guests, or self-serving frequent users.
Offering a wealth of modular features, it retains a compact conception and all of its quintessential qualities.
A proper medium for this goal is the use of geometrical and rational shapes which are made warmer and less rigid through rounded edges and sapient use of color.
Details, metal, and glossy finishing convey a sensation of high quality.
The protruding display, with its UI for an optimized experience, is detached from the machine’s main body and seems to lean over to reach the user.
Thanks to the deep coffee competence and business agility, Schaerer helps its partners to meet their individual needs through tailor-made solutions.
Colors and finishings can be customized to easily create unique appearances with a personal style.
Coffee Soul 12 and Coffee Soul 10 include features like high-resolution touchscreens, stainless steel finishing, and brass trimmings.
They are ideal for restaurants and public spaces due to their high performance and sleek design.
These coffee machines embody the “Swissness” of Schaerer, where the meaning stands for a high level of precision, high quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
