-Project:"coffee bean"
"coffee bean":a series of receptacles for different flavoured beans and a stove for making the coffee, incorporated into a single component that when closed takes on the appearance of a coffee bean. Enriching the taste sensations for coffee lovers,"coffee bean " suggests a new way of transforming Turkish coffee traditions into an experience which unites the flavours and cultures of the world. Ms.Ozge Kandemir 's inspirational design, when closed, resembles the enticing characteristics of a 'coffee bean' and consists, when opened, of two principle functions.One half of 'coffee bean ' contains individual receptacles designed to hold different bean flavours. Selected as desired and, with the help of water and a small spirit lamp built into the second half, transformed into an individual beverage.
The project demonstrates the greater communication opportunities allowed by RP technologies in the presentation of innovative designs. Advanced materials further lent to the presentation a variety of functional characteristics that traditional communication techniques would not have allowed.
