A compact home espresso machine concept for Bialetti — a cantilevered brew head over an open cup deck, a wrap-around transparent side tank, and a CMF range that runs from Rosso to brushed copper and soft sage.
The concept reframes the home espresso machine as a single cantilevered form — a deep "C" that lifts the brew group up and out over an open cup deck, leaving the counter visible underneath. The result feels lighter and more architectural than the usual closed box, while keeping the footprint tight enough for a domestic worktop.
The portafilter sits front-and-centre under a polished chrome group, with the steam wand to the side. A transparent water tank wraps the full height of one flank, so the level is always legible and the reservoir doubles as a visual feature rather than something hidden at the back.
The body language stays loyal to Bialetti — clean panelled faces, exposed corner fixings, and the omino coi baffi wordmark sitting quietly on the brushed-metal shoulder. Form, proportion, CMF and the full set of presentation renders were produced in-house.
Clean studio sets isolate the architecture — the cantilevered head, the open brewing bay, the wrap-around tank — and let the colour-and-finish range do the talking. The same body carries a glossy painted side cheek against a brushed stainless wrap, with corner fixings left deliberately visible.
Placed into real kitchen settings, the machine is tested across the CMF range and against the materials it would actually live with — marble, stainless, oak and quartz. The compact footprint and the lifted head keep it from crowding the worktop.
Form & ergonomics — the cantilevered "C" body was developed around the real packaging: boiler, pump, portafilter group and a tank sized for several shots, all resolved into a footprint that suits a domestic worktop.
SolidWorks — the production-intent surfaces, panel breaks and corner fixings were built as a solid model, keeping the concept honest about how the parts would actually assemble.
KeyShot — every studio and in-context render was lit and shot here, carrying the full CMF range across real kitchen environments to test colour, finish and material against believable surroundings.
