Kaffa

Exhibition | Material | Research | Sustainable design

Kaffa is a collection design objects made from spent coffee grounds.

Coffee has the power of connecting people, but after enjoying our favorite hot beverage, a lot of potential is still left in the spent grounds. As we share our worries, joy and life by having a cup of coffee together, a Kaffa object is a collection of thousands of stories.

Kaffa is the result of an ongoing design-research project on the potential of organic waste. Because of our love for coffee, the spent grounds are largely available and can be locally collected. With their dark and rich aesthetics they make a perfect fit to create biodesign objects. All objects remain biodegradable at the end of their life cycle.

‘Kaffa’ will be on show during MaterialDistrict Utrecht 2023
