Coffee: Golden Ratio is constructed mainly from recycled tin containers for ILLY Coffee. Stacked espresso cups are permanently attatched with a concealed rod going through the cups. The height of the coffee pot as compared to the precariously stacked espresso cups create a ratio that is based on the concept of Phi, the Golden Ratio, and a pun on the word “coffee.” Everyone seems to have their own ratio of milk and sugar to their coffee… What is your golden ratio?
This coffee pot is shown in the book Teapots: Makers & Collectors by Dona Z. Meilach.
