Made to make coffee.

The form is sculptural, but the function is real. TEKISIC holds the filter and pour-over process as part of the piece itself, bringing material, hand, and ritual into the same object.

Within APÁ ESTUDIOS, it sits between sculpture and coffee equipment: a handmade object that only fully resolves when coffee moves through it.
