Designed by Tadahito Ishibashi for Swedish Brunopasso, this espresso machine takes cues from sports car styling. From its curved aerodynamic form to it’s gauges (which kind of look like eyes) it resembles an Italian car as much as anything else. Sells for a reported $850. -Via dvice.

If you read Neu Black regularly then you remember Jasper Morrison’s Appliances for Rowenta. In keeping with the quality of that work, Jasper Morrison has designed a refrigerator for Samsung. The image on the left comes from Samsung’s page while the one on the right comes from the Jasper Morrison website. One can only hope that the design in white is available as it is the more distinctive design and finish.

London based industrial design firm Industrial Facility has designed a coffee maker for Muji. The cylindrical design was achieved by wrapping the water reservoir around the filter. A non-directional design ensures that it will look good from all sides. The coffee maker features a vacuum stainless steel pot five with five cup capacity.

Melanie Olle + Ilja Oelschlägel design the “Compact Kitchen” concept while they we’re still students at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle, Germany and we can’t wait to see what they do for an encore. This is an entire kitchen, complete with stove, dishwasher, table, chairs, and even a lamp that slides in and out of the wall. If there’s anything the germans are known for it’s efficiency and beer. In this case you can sit back, relax and enjoy both. This project won 3rd place in DesignBoom.com’s international kitchen and design competition, but we would have given it 1st.
