Description
It looks like just a coffee maker. But just look at it more closely to understand that it tells a story. There was a time, before compulsive zapping, when every evening the television opened like a curtain: Carosello was on. And among its most beloved protagonists were two strange and irresistible characters: Carmencita and Caballero, created to advertise Lavazza's Paulista coffee. Behind them was the brilliant mind of Armando Testa, a visionary artist and advertiser from Turin. Their catchphrase – “Carmencita sei già mia, close the gas and come away” – entered the chatter of Italians like an irresistible refrain. The years pass, television changes, but Carmencita does not disappear. Indeed, in 1979 it takes concrete form thanks to the designer Marco Zanuso, who has already won the Compasso d'Oro several times. It is he who transforms that stylized cone into a real moka: angular, elegant, unmistakable. With a squared handle for a more comfortable grip and a silhouette that seems to have emerged from a 1960s advertising dream. Thus the Carmencita moka was born: half object of use, half nostalgic homage. It is not just a way to make coffee: it is a small monument to the time when advertising had a soul and the coffee maker, the face of a queen without arms.
