The AnZa
AnZa is what happens when you treat an appliance like sculpture or a piece of furniture.
The appeal was immediately clear. By using unorthodox
materials—such as concrete, brass, Corian® Solid Surface, and
wood—we transformed a mechanical tool into an object of beauty and desire.
As we designed, we made prototypes. We experimented with
different knobs, switches, materials, colors, and finishes. Over
the years, different designers contributed to the machine’s
development with ideas and material samples. The AnZa aesthetic
of simple luxury emerged, translated into two different material finishes.

The Goal
For some, making espresso is science. We’ve always seen it more as art. And with art and design, materials matter.
AnZa is about choosing different materials—materials that seem
strange to some and heartwarming to others, ones that provoke a
response and encourage a relationship. Our goal is to reward the
user with a unique ownership experience.
