MuMAC, Museum of Coffee Machine, was designed by
Paolo Balzanelli owner of Arkispazio and Valerio Cometti founder of Valerio
Cometti+V12 Design in order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of
Cimbali Group, the most important pofessional coffee machine manufacturer in
the world, through its legendary brands LaCimbali and Faema.
MuMAC lies within the establishment of the
Cimbali Group a few miles South of Milan.
The core of the new architecture is a building
previously used as a warehouse, within which are located both the exposition
area and a versatile open space suitable for events and exhibitions to the
culture of coffee.
MuMAC narrates a story that spans across 100
years, recounting the history of this extraordinary objects within its 1,800
square meters.
Both facades of the museum have been rendered
with a delicate nonetheless technological technique: ?LaCimbali red? slats of a
composite material create a sinuous embrace that has been inspired by the flow
of the aroma lifting off a coffee cup and at night a carefully designed
illumination creates a strikingly backlit grid of light that evokes the energy
living inside MuMAC.
Visitors of Mumac, access via a new entrance: a
coffee-colored wall identifies clearly such opening.
The internal garden is limited by this coffee-colored
wall that is marked by nine trees which divide it into 10 equal spaces: ten
decades of the century that symbolize the life and the achievements of Cimbali
Group.
The museum area offers an exposition divided
into six historical periods from the beginning of the century to the present
day: The early years, The age of Rationalism, Invention of the lever, Under the
banners of design, The International dimension and The New Millennium.
Area called The early years is characterized by
a suspended ceiling and posters from Art Deco period.
Exhibition of The age of Rationalism include a
severe fascist colonnade and strict grid of orthogonal lines identifies the
layout of the marble display stands.
In the area dedicated to the culture of the 50s and 60s we can find a
reconstruction of a bar and an entirely cantilevered structure that supports
the machines of the period where thanks to cleverly positioned mirrors,
visitors can enjoy both sides of these wonderful machines.
Under the banners of design is characterized by a collection of design masterpieces of the late
'60s and '70s: great Masters of design have penned coffee machines in these
decades, therefore these machine are actual design icons.
The New Millennium is where the display stands
are coated in white resin and they smoothly emerge from the floor equally
coated in white resin: this area portrays the most modern machines, those
designed for an increasingly fast society. This room has a full height red
volume, which is visible from any angle of the museum. Within this volume is
visible an installation of the new LaCimbali M100 coffee machine designed by
Valerio Cometti+V12 Design: a daring exploded view that allows to grasp the
technological content and the level of complexity of such machine, becoming an
invitation to reflect on the extraordinary journey that the coffee machine has
made during these last hundred years.
