Bloom is the name of Confalonieri's work, and recalls both the blossoming of flowers and the blooming process: the Victoria Arduino and Starbucks Reserve Roastery, in collaboration with Interni and with the art direction of Giulio Cappellini , promoted a consultation that involved three designers, chosen for their different design settings, in the customization of the iconic E1 espresso machine First initial phase of 'pour over' filter extraction methods. The concept is based on the representation of two types of regeneration: natural and material.
The first refers to a revitalization symbolized by the blossoming of flowers and, in Confalonieri's reinterpretation, the floral elements 'are born' literally from E1, decorating it. That material, on the other hand, refers to the substance of which the decorative flowers are composed: a 3D print made with a material generated by reusing coffee grounds.
