see what bialetti's iconic moka pot might look like through the lens of hermes

"The concept's core is the classic Bialetti Moka Pot, iconic for its compact build of faceted aluminum. In this proposal, the upper chamber is recast in Hermès orange with a sculpted horse forming the lid's finial and body. The animal's legs extend down the sides of the upper chamber to transform the pot into a small stovetop design object. visualizations courtesy Jane Morelli"

"Designer Jane Morelli's Hermès concept works because it respects the geometry of the original Bialetti Moka Pot. The cream octagonal base remains intact, its weight and proportion grounding the more expressive top. A brushed metal band at the joint is inscribed with the names Hermès and Bialetti. The handle shifts to a warm brown tone that suggests Hermès leather. Opposite it, the spout keeps its familiar angle, maintaining the object's functional logic."

A speculative Hermès x Bialetti Moka Pot reinterprets the classic faceted aluminum coffee maker with equestrian ornamentation and Hermès color. The design retains the cream octagonal base for weight and proportion while the upper chamber appears in Hermès orange topped by a sculpted horse whose legs flow down the sides. A brushed metal band at the joint is inscribed with Hermès and Bialetti. The handle adopts a warm brown leather tone and the spout preserves its functional angle. A matching espresso cup features a horse-profile handle and a horseshoe-shaped saucer with an orange insert.
