Brutalist statement in concrete and Corian - porosity and texture as feature, brass accents
AnZa treats espresso machines as sculptures and furniture rather than appliances. Founded in Berkeley, California, and now based in Stavanger, Norway, AnZa rejects generic stainless steel for brutalist concrete forms with brass accents and porcelain touch-points. Each hand-cast concrete shell develops a unique patina over time, making every machine a one-of-a-kind statement piece.
