A window to coffee making

Australian manufacturer Aremde has created an open theatre experience in which the barista can perform for the customer, and nothing separates the coffee maker from the coffee buyer.

Netherlands-based designer Rempt Van der Donk says Nexus One’s see-through structure opens up the craft of coffee making, which is beneficial to both sides of the bar.

“The barista can show off their skills while creating a memorable experience for the customer,” Rempt tells BeanScene.

An architect by trade, Rempt had no experience in product design prior to working on the Nexus One. He says the project first came his way while working on a building in Saudi Arabia.

“I was building a new headquarters for Raqtan, one of the largest food services equipment companies in the country,” Rempt says.
