The hourglass-shaped pot is comprised of two separate balls connected with metal rings. The sleek aluminum canister features an oversized L-shaped handle, a beak-like pour spout and a convenient flip-open lip. The handle comes in two colors of either red or black. There will be three variations of this elegant pot, which include a one-cup, a three-cup and a six-cup version. This [post-modern kitchen aid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espresso-machine-concept) is ideal for sophisticated coffee-lovers but can also be a beautiful accessory in any kitchen. The ribbed coffee maker was created for the [Alessi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessi-pliss-milk-frother) brand and was given the name Pulcina, which reflects its shape. The Pulcina is set to launch during the London Design Festival 2015. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aluminum Kitchenware:** There is an opportunity for the aluminum kitchenware industry to create ribbed designs that appeal to modern tastes. - **Hourglass-shaped Designs:** The trend towards hourglass-shaped designs in home accessories presents an opportunity for designers to create functional and visually stunning objects. - **Sophisticated Coffee Tools:** There is a growing market for sophisticated and elegant coffee-making tools, creating an opportunity for designers and manufacturers to create unique products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware:** Kitchenware manufacturers can capitalize on the popularity of sleek and modern designs to create functional and visually stunning products for the home. - **Home Accessories:** Designers and manufacturers of home accessories can take advantage of the trend towards hourglass-shaped designs to create unique and visually appealing products that blend form and function. - **Coffee Equipment:** Coffee equipment manufacturers can cater to the needs of sophisticated coffee lovers by creating elegant and functional tools that enhance the coffee-making experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Espresso Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-cupola.md) - [Accessible High-Quality Moka Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standard-moka-pot.md) - [Character Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-moky.md) - [Sleek Pour-Over Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pourover-coffee-maker1.md) - [Bean-Shaped Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bean-coffee-machine.md) - [Style-Conscious Coffee Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisan-gooseneck-kettle.md) - [Pleated High-Fashion Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessi-pliss-milk-frother.md) - [Organically Curvaceous Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-coffee-machine.md) - [Instrument-Resembling Coffee Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trumpet-coffee.md)
