The Origin Espresso Machine has been designed by Whynot Design for BIEPI as a kitchen appliance that would fit in nicely with existing decor. The coffee maker is constructed with the use of black and steel sheets along with wood, which gives it a somewhat furniture-inspired design perfect for placement in open-concept living spaces. This goes against the traditionally industrial design of espresso makers, which are often all-metal.
The Origin Espresso Machine is also equipped with a series of LED strips that run the length of the unit to light up the work area and on the rear to enhance the aesthetic. A height-adjustable tray enables coffee makers to further customize the unit to their needs.
