Industrial designer Benjamin Hubert,<\/em> founder of London design studio LAYER, has revealed Pebble, an innovative and budget-friendly coffee machine for the renowned Korean brand Kanu<\/a>. This appliance is specifically crafted to deliver the perfect Americano, showcasing a design that is both soft and playful, complemented by sophisticated sculptural details.<\/p>\n

\"LAYER<\/p>\n

Pebble’s clever integration of technology, along with a signature framing element surrounding the coffee cup platform, enhances the overall perception of the appliance. This thoughtful design not only elevates the user experience but also transforms the act of making coffee into a more enjoyable ritual. The machine’s geometrical design artfully contrasts gently rounded features with strict, rectilinear lines, creating a playful aesthetic that stands apart from the conventional design language typically associated with traditional coffee machines.<\/p>\n

\"LAYER<\/p>\n

The sophisticated design language of Pebble elevates its presence in any home, while its friendly silhouette appeals to a youthful audience. This versatility allows it to seamlessly blend with a variety of interior styles, making it a perfect addition to modern living spaces. To further enhance its playful geometry, Pebble is offered in two elegant colors: a delicate off-white inspired by the creamy texture of coffee crema and a refined charcoal grey.<\/p>\n

\"LAYER<\/p>\n

Crafted from soft-touch polymer, the geometric forms of Pebble feature a mix of gloss and satin finishes, providing a premium feel without breaking the bank<\/a>. This attention to material quality ensures that the coffee machine not only looks good but also feels great to use. Pebble is designed to elevate the Americano experience, presenting the cup of coffee gracefully on an elevated drip tray platform.<\/p>\n

\"LAYER<\/p>\n

The front face of Pebble frames the coffee and cup, celebrating the beverage in a way that draws attention and admiration. The nested, offset square elements create a simple yet inviting face for the machine, making it a delightful addition to any kitchen countertop. This design approach emphasizes the beauty of the coffee-making process, inviting users to appreciate their drink even more.<\/p>\n

\"LAYER<\/p>\n

\u201cAt LAYER<\/a>, we believe everyday interactions with technology should be seamless and intuitive,\u201d<\/em> says the studio. Pebble features a tactile, user-friendly interface on its top surface, inviting touch and clearly communicating its functionality in a discreet and charming manner. This thoughtful design ensures that using Pebble is not just about making coffee; it\u2019s about enjoying a delightful experience every time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Industrial designer Benjamin Hubert, founder of London design studio LAYER, has revealed Pebble, an innovative and budget-friendly
