KURFUERSTEN PARFUEMERIE - Container for Coffee Beans
This was a very interesting challenge. The beauty institute Kurfursten Parfumerie commissioned me to make a container for the coffee beans used to neutralize the fragrances during the perfume test. Obviously it was not easy to think of an object that, in its banality, could stand out in an environment populated by bottles and bottles of perfumes with a colorful and original design.
My idea was to create something that did not have a particularly dominant shape, but maintained a certain elegance and at the same time discretion. I also wanted the object to be somehow full of mystery. So the first sketches led me towards the conception of a sort of multifaceted cocoon, able to partially reflect the surrounding context.
Thus the idea of creating something resembling an exotic and precious fruit, which at the same time combined a neutral aspect but which contained something precious within it, emerged.
The cocoon was thus conceived as an opening shell inside which there is a heart made of precious metal, shiny and full of symbolism.
The heart of this cocoon is similar to a small basket inside which the coffee beans are received.
It can be extracted from the shell, resting comfortably in the hand of the user, making it easy and comfortable to use.
