One Object unveils a look at the FOOD Coffee Machine series concept, which is inspired by Hong Kong's urban cityscape. Specifically, the machines were made as a celebration of the bright and box-like structures of Hong Kong apartment buildings.
The series is comprised of square and rectangular shapes that are decorated with pastel tones -- it can also be customized in terms of the colors and finishes to best match the respective kitchen. This way, users can select a monochrome result or a color-blocked finish. The Velo is a more compact version of the machine with the capsule system and there is a water tank at the back. The Manua is the espresso machine iteration with a manual coffee filter integrated.
