Our day-to-day lives are marked by small, invisible touches. Based on the principle of slow design, bisogno encourages people to be slower, to touch consciously and to sense. The designed handles for the Bialetti espresso pot make everyday use an intense experience. They invite the user to pause and transform coffee-making into a mindful ritual. The project is a reflexion on and enhancement of an everyday object. Through their crafted quality, sensuousness and emotional connectedness, instead of being casually used they form a long-term companionship. The project deals with SDG 12, “Responsible Consumption and Production”.
