Marko Filipic and Mati Papalini design the Sunrise Alarm Clock which is simultaneously a coffee maker as it rests by the bedside and gently wakes users up with the calming aromas of coffee. The duo create the conceptual design to integrate the two functions and avoid the loud sounds of an alarm.
When users wake up from the alarm clock coffee machine, there is a coffee maker readily prepared right by the bed. It starts making the coffee and brews on the spot, filling the room with the scent for a refreshing start. It also has a playful color palette, fusing hues of black, pink, and blue together. It boasts a compact structure to be mindful of space as well.
