Button design

​

Two options for redesign of the pre-programmable buttons were proposed for the upgraded machine of Dalla Corte XT:
 

•  One group  following the language of rounded shape,

•  and a group of icons inspired by oblong shape.

​

In this project, the biggest challenge was to give buttons a logic, that would bind buttons to each-other, yet be random enough for the user, to program and give each button its own independence and meaning.

Choice of wood

​

An idea behind upgraded XT was to make it more customized and up-to-date with current trends and movements in the industry of specialty coffee. Therefore, it was decided to use precious wood on the machine.

​​

The wood is used in front panel, back panel and side panels of the machine, portafilter handles and steam levers.
