Eli is a transformable, compact, and automatic pour-over coffee maker design for those who need perfect taste coffee to meet their daily addiction wherever. Because of the smooth and stable rotating axis structure, the coffee-making process can be simply divided into three phases: Material preparation, Brewing setup, and Coffee brewing. The new form and structure allow users to carry and set the coffee maker on the table quickly. A minimalist approach to the conventional coffee maker, Eli focuses on aesthetics, usability, and enhancing the overall coffee brewing experience.

Hello. I’m Chenchen Fan. I started with Fine Arts in Belgium, moved to NY to study engineering, and came to ArtCenter seeking a blend of technology and art. "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works and how to influence the world." As an industrial designer, I am constantly sketching my ideas and finding solutions that are highly functional, sustainable and visually innovative. I love taking my research and developing multiple concepts. I want to find the most logical solutions, those that explode with potential. In order to create designs that sustain into the future, I want to find that perfect chemistry between aesthetics, function, and experience.
