The brief, from Design Experience, a first-year course at TU Delft: “Choose a modern-day electronic appliance, and make a redesign in which you apply the form language of another era.” I’m a big fan of 1970s German design, of Dieter Rams and Braun. The Senseo Twist felt far removed from what a coffee maker essentially is, so I made a collage of form elements and turned it into a minimal, orange coffee maker.
