DESIGN NAME: Flavia C300 And Chill Refresh
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Workplace Beverage System
INSPIRATION: The design evolves the existing form language of Flavia and provides a vision for the future line up of the brand. The two modules complement each other and are a perfect match. All surfaces and volumes are precisely controlled with strong and stable main body and soft sensual transitions of the intersecting volumes. The acceleration and curvature of the lines and surfaces are fluid and sensual. Materials colours and finishes were chosen to reflect the professional setting they operate in. Special attention was placed on all areas that require direct user interaction. Be it at the front or at the rear.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Flavia C300 is a midsize workplace beverage system that will keep everyone satisfied. Compact footprint and smart technology fit modern workplaces and the intuitive user interface makes it easy to craft delicious drinks with perfectly balanced flavour every time without cross contamination. The Chill Refresh is the perfect add on to the C300 for a true hot and cold all in one beverage system. The design is made from well refined elements creating a professional yet sensual product.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Choose your drink from the menu. Place your cup on the stand, open the brewer door, insert the fresh pack, select start and the brewer does the rest. Letting you know once it is done and leaving you with a drink that will make every day a little more special. It is really that easy.
And because it brews directly from pack to cup there is no cross contamination from anything that has been brewed before.
It is easy to manage and maintain. The Flavia IQ smart technology and online portal let you manage drinks and consumption data in a fraction of the time.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was designed in Italy. The complete product development from initial concept to final product took about three years.
