Flavia C300: Revolutionizing the Workplace Beverage Experience

Florian Seidl's Innovative Design Merges Functionality with Aesthetics

The Flavia C300, a product of meticulous design evolution, stands as a testament to the future vision of the Flavia brand. Florian Seidl's creation is not merely a beverage system; it is an embodiment of professional elegance and user-centric innovation. The designer's inspiration stems from a desire to refine the brand's existing form language, resulting in a product that boasts fluid lines, controlled surfaces, and a harmonious blend of volumes that appeal to the senses.

What sets the Flavia C300 apart is its compact yet powerful presence in the workplace. It is designed to cater to the modern office's demand for space efficiency and technological sophistication. The system's intuitive interface ensures a seamless operation, allowing users to craft an array of perfectly flavored drinks without the risk of cross-contamination. Complementing the C300 is the Chill Refresh module, an addition that elevates the system to an all-in-one hot and cold beverage solution, reflecting the professional environment through its choice of materials, colors, and finishes.

The realization of this design is grounded in advanced production techniques. The main shell and cup rest are crafted from injection-molded ABS plastic, offering a blend of textured and glossy finishes. The front door features an in-mold decoration foil, while the logo is applied via pad printing, and the feet are fashioned from silicone rubber, ensuring stability and durability.

Technical specifications reveal the C300's compact dimensions and robust power supply, designed to meet the demands of a busy office. Similarly, the Chill Refresh complements these specifications with its own set of features, including a substantial water tank capacity and multilingual options, catering to diverse workplace settings.

The interaction with the Flavia C300 and Chill Refresh is straightforward and enjoyable. Users select a drink, place a cup, insert a fresh pack, and initiate the brewing process with a simple touch. The Flavia IQ smart technology further streamlines management and maintenance, allowing for efficient handling of drinks and consumption data.

Developed in Italy over three years, the project is a result of extensive research, including 3D modeling and prototyping. The design team overcame the challenge of creating a modular system where both products complement each other aesthetically and functionally. This design achievement has not gone unnoticed, as the Flavia C300 has been honored with the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award, recognizing its contribution to enhancing workplace experiences through design excellence.

Lavazza Professional holds the design patent for the Flavia C300 and Chill Refresh, ensuring the protection of this innovative concept. As a Bronze winner in the A' Office and Business Appliances Design Award category, the Flavia C300 stands as a beacon of design ingenuity, promising to make every coffee break a moment to savor.
