The Challenge
To translate classic coffee drinks into a universal visual system — without photography. Each beverage had to be reduced to its essentials (espresso, milk, foam, ice…) and expressed through pure geometry, proportion, and color. The system needed to feel minimal yet expressive, technical yet warm.
The Solution
Each drink is built from overlapping circles, calculated ratios, and controlled chromatic palettes. Transparency conveys density, scale shows quantity, and the white cup anchors the abstraction. The series turns familiar recipes into visual formulas — simple, balanced, and contemplative.
Reception
Praised for its clarity, harmony, and elegance, the series resonated with viewers who enjoyed seeing everyday rituals distilled into abstract visual studies.
What Could Be Improved
Future directions include adding global coffee variations, animated versions, printed editions, or an interactive tool for adjusting ingredient proportions.
