A copper and black drum coffee roaster with a steel hopper and ducting in an industrial roastery

Brief

The roaster occupies a former pottery kiln and wanted an identity that felt hand-made without looking rustic.

Approach

A single quarter-circle tile, rotated four ways, became the entire pattern system. It prints on cups, cuts into the floor and scales to the door sign without redrawing.

Outcome

Cups, bags, a floor pattern and window lettering, all from one tile.
