The designer of Espresso Stool captures a very short moment of his daily life. The short moment that he captured is to make coffee every single day. It becomes a starting point of the project, and it is gradually changed as an unconscious habit. However, what he accidently realized one day is as a designer the significance of discovering unconscious things that people easily forget. The overall design concept of it is therefore coffee beans, but the ultimate meaning of it is to remind the significance of the ordinaries in a daily life.
