Le Caffettiere dei Maestri at Museo Lavazza: coffee design and ritual

Le Caffettiere dei Maestri at Museo Lavazza

Museo Lavazza hosts an exhibition dedicated to coffee makers that focuses on the relationship between design and the ritual of coffee, curated by Giulio Iacchetti. The show explores how everyday objects become cultural icons and evidence of social practices linked to coffee consumption.

The exhibition juxtaposes historic pieces with contemporary projects, highlighting formal evolution, material choices and functional solutions that have shaped coffee preparation and consumption. It goes beyond a mere object catalogue to tell stories of hands, workshops and companies that helped define a national ritual.

• Iconic design pieces applied to coffee makers and espresso machines.
• Insights into the balance between aesthetics and practicality in object design.
• Installations that recreate the gesture of preparing coffee as a daily ritual.
• Educational materials and routes aimed at design enthusiasts and general audiences.

The curatorship of Giulio Iacchetti emphasizes the ability of industrial design to convey cultural identities, offering a critical yet celebratory perspective on an object central to Italian daily life. For information on opening times and related events, check the Museo Lavazza website.
