The capsule coffee machine is designed to have an aesthetically pleasing appearance, which requires a balance of aesthetics, functionality and brand tonality. The following are some key design directions and fashion trends that can help create a "good-looking" capsule coffee machine. The boss of Shunde Zhongshan looked over:
Core Design Principles
Simplistic Modernism (Minimalism & Modernism)
clean lines: clean geometric lines (straight lines, smooth curves) is the mainstream. Avoid too many complicated decorations and carvings.
Pure surface: a large area of flat or micro arc surface, reduce unnecessary dividing line.
Hidden clutter: cleverly design water tanks, capsule bins, and waste capsule boxes to make them more visually "invisible" or integrated into the whole. For example, rear or side water tanks, removable waste capsule boxes keep the fuselage tidy.
Premium Texture (Premium Feel & Materials):
Material mix and match: combining different materials to enhance texture:
Metal: matte or brushed stainless steel, aluminum alloy (often used in top cover, side, frame, water outlet), delivering a strong, professional and delicate feeling.
Matte plastic: high quality engineering plastics, matte treatment (not easy to leave fingerprints) is more advanced than high-gloss plastic, and the color is softer.
Surface treatment: fine sandblasting, brushed, matte coating more than cheap glossy plastic grade. Uniform color.
Water tank design:
Location: The rear is the most common, and the side or detachable design is also good. Try to avoid pre-destruction of the overall sense.
Material/Visibility: The transparent water tank is convenient to observe the water volume, but the material should be strong and scratch-resistant. A matte or transparent material with tick marks is the balance. The opaque water tank (the same color as the fuselage) is more holistic.
Shape: simple square, cylindrical or special shape fused with the contour of the fuselage.
capsule silo design:
Opening and closing mode: lever type (classic, reliable), flip type (simple), sliding type (modern sense). The opening and closing movement should be smooth and textured, and the gap should be even when closed.
Visibility: Part of the design allows to see the placed capsule, increasing the sense of interaction and mechanical beauty
Retro Futurism: Combine retro soft curves with futuristic materials (metal, matte surfaces), color matching (earth colors), and a simple interface.
Organic Form: Use softer, natural curves and contours to reduce tough right angles.
Smaller size: Compact designs are becoming more and more popular, especially suitable for small kitchens or offices
Summarize the "good looking" key words
Ultimately, "good-looking" is subjective, but following the above principles and trends, combined with brand positioning and target user preferences (is the pursuit of extreme simplicity, professional coffee or warm home feeling?), it is possible to design a visually attractive and durable capsule coffee machine.
