Elegant Coffee Products are in High Demand
Social platforms are flooded with cinematic home-barista content, turning coffee into an art and inspiring newcomers. Influencers are fueling the trend, and the demand for sleek, elegant coffee products is soaring.
The Pour-Over Carafe is Trending
The pour-over carafe is the most popular coffee product on the internet. You brew by swirling water over the grounds. I saw a chance to turn that simple motion into a fun, unique experience.
Project Goals
Transform the pour-over carafe into a countertop centerpiece.
Design a pour-over carafe that feels at home in modern, minimalist kitchens and aligns with the aesthetic seen in trending home-barista content.
Invite curiosity and optimize for shareable content.
Transform the swirling motion of pour-over brewing into a more engaging, playful experience that invites curiosity, interaction, and looks great on camera for content creation.
The Trending Aesthetic : Natural Tones & Linear Patterns
The design needed a sense of elegance and connection to nature. Linear patterns quickly emerged as a central theme, shaping the final design and reflecting the aesthetic direction of the trend I was designing for.
