Industrial Design | KORK Kafeware
The world has asked us to slow down, reset and change our perspectives of modern day life. The Kork Kafeware range encourages us to slow down and appreciate the craft that goes into the coffee brewing process.
Sustainablility and Scandanavian influences helped shape the new range of coffeeware, comprising of simple, primitive shapes. The Kafeware aims to utilise the unique charateristics of Cork and turn them into functional everyday products.
As the Kafeware Range focuses on Slow Coffee, emphasis on products that allow the user to control the brewing process, in a manual, tactile approach.
Manual Coffee grinder, the Stovetop Kettle, Coffee Dripper Cone and Cafetiere, all these products slow down the coffee brewing process and gets the user involved, making the coffee brewing process more personal.
The Kork Cafetiere is a truly unique French Press, thanks to its double walled Polished Steel body and Cork base. Deconstructed to primitive shapes and natural materials, it is a modern interpretation of a classic home coffee brewer.
The Kork Coffee Grinder is a Manual Conical Burr Grinder. A simple Cork Lid allows for easier loading, and a Cork gasket creates an air tight seal, keeping ground coffee as fresh as possible. A detachable crank makes for easier storage. Easy disassembly allows easier maintenance/replacement of parts.
The Stovetop Coffee Pot is a modern and Scandanavian approach to the traditional Moka Pot, but it's wider and straight body design will allow for easier maintenance. A Cork gasket sits between the two screw-together components and the top cylindrical handle is weighted to ensure the lid is secure under heat pressure underneath.
