David Chipperfield x Alessi Coffee Machine
Designer David Chipperfield has teamed up with Alessi on DC09, a new interpretation of the brand’s everyday coffee machine. Combining a clean, architectural form with intuitive physical controls, the design puts the pleasure of making coffee back at the centre of the experience. Rather than relying solely on digital touchscreens, DC09 uses tactile, analogue controls to make operation feel straightforward and considered. Its metal casing (available in green, grey and dark grey) creates a continuous, streamlined structure, with coloured steel defining the vertical elements and satin-finished steel used across the horizontal surfaces. The result is a thoughtful balance of form and function, turning an everyday kitchen appliance into something worth displaying.
