EVSDA 2025 – ‘PRODUCT DESIGN’ SHORTLIST – COLLAPSIBLE COFFEE FILTER (PHAN NGUYỄN HƯƠNG LÊ)

*

Reimagining the traditional Vietnamese coffee filter with elements of portability, material innovation, and cultural preservation. Meeting the Vietnamese need to drink coffee anytime, anywhere.

From egg coffee to salty coffee, the design features a measuring tray for mixing and a convenient foldable design for travel.

Combining modern, food-safe materials with a biodegradable mixture made from recycled coffee grounds, this coffee maker is sustainable in both function and form.

Decorative options: Traditional mother-of-pearl inlay, combined with elements of everyday rural life, elevates the product beyond an ordinary tool — into an object of exquisite cultural pride.

By Vietnamese, for Vietnamese.
