Golden A' Design Award Winner 2021
Scanning this composition from background to foreground reveals a contemporary interior space featuring a sophisticated coffee capsule vending installation. The background presents vertical wooden slats in warm golden oak tones, spaced evenly to create a rhythmic pattern reminiscent of bamboo screens, running floor to ceiling. A dark charcoal perforated metal staircase cuts diagonally across the upper portion, its honeycomb texture creating visual interest against the warm wood. Moving to the middle ground, two substantial vending units stand side by side, occupying roughly two-thirds of the image width. The left unit is constructed from smooth cement-gray concrete, cool to the touch as weathered limestone, while the right unit glows with warm honey-oak timber, suggesting the smoothness of polished furniture. Each unit rises approximately four to five feet tall, featuring a transparent glass display case in the upper portion containing multiple vertical clear tubes. These tubes hold stacked circular coffee capsules in various colors—deep greens like forest leaves, warm terracottas like sun-baked clay, soft pinks like rose petals, and rich burgundies like aged wine. The capsules create colorful vertical stripes within each display. The lower portion of each unit features horizontal stepped layers, like stacked thick slabs, with diamond-shaped openings at center serving as product dispensers. Flanking the installation on both sides, white cylindrical plant pots hold lush green schefflera plants, their multiple-pointed leaves creating organic softening. The foreground displays a polished concrete floor reflecting subtle light, smooth and cool as river stone. Natural light enters from the right side, creating gentle warmth and soft shadows that reveal surface textures throughout the scene.
Dropper is an innovative vending machine for coffee capsules - with a distinctive design that follows Meama’s Head Office design concept. Dropper is presented in two visuals - concrete and wood. Customers have the opportunity to match them with different interiors. Dropper’s upper section’s transparent design allows the customers to view all six cylinders filled with various coffee capsules, which makes it easier to choose their preferable flavor. In addition to its ease of use and design, Dropper is energy efficient and eco-friendly.
