Koffiee-Koffiee By Benjamin Crowe
Here we have a concept design by designer Benjamin Crowe in his take on the percolator he wanted to move away from what he saw as a higheracical liner serving system to a more social system of service. In each of the balls or ‘coffee pods’ is a separate serving of your favourite coffee meaning that when you have guest round you can server them their favourite coffee even if its not your own. Powering itself by means of ‘Resonate Energy Transfer’ (wireless electricity) so that this device could be used anywhere in the home with out fear of tripping over wires and pulling it off services. The designer had this to say about the concept:-
KoffieeeeiffoK is a concept design for a more sociable coffee meeting. With insperation from such things like percolators, hooker pipes and nature.
