Fully aware of an object's narrative ability, Sicilian architect Mario Trimarchi has designed the "Ossidiana" espresso coffee maker. Like his other projects, this one is based on memories and fragments of images, told through the form of an article. Ossidiana embraces the memory of the various sides of the traditional moka coffee pot and those of obsidian, the volcanic stone it is named after.

Ossidiana espresso coffee maker is offered in 3 and 5 cup sizes. It features an aluminum casting with black thermoplastic resin handle and knob. The 3-cup version can also be specified in black.
