Harinezumi is a work of revolutionary that transcends the boundaries of a conventional coffee roaster. Inspired by the interplay of geometric forms, Harinezumi marries the elegance of sharp triangular ceramic structures with the strength of hexagonal stainless-steel housing which are enriched by espresso finish wooden elements, producing a one-of-a-kind design that is as visually captivating as it is functional.

At the center of Harinezumi resides its dark ceramic chamber, adorned with triangular parametric structures which not only serve to enhance heat distribution to the tumbling beans but invites contemplation as well. Every rotation, as the chamber dances with the flames, casting mesmerizing shadows as they embrace the raw coffee beans, inviting the user to explore the hidden complexities within each roast.
On each end, the hexagonal stainless-steel housing with the wooden accent stands as guardians, ensuring the integrity of the roasting process while showcasing its own geometric allure. The steel acts as a gentle embrace, cradling the complex ceramic with unwavering strength. As the wooden elements are primarily intended to protect the user from unintentional touch to the hot surface of the steels, additionally extends a gentle invitation to the user.

A rhombus form handle of wood and stainless-steel, echoing the hexagonal symphony of the roaster’s design. Its sharp edges and fluent curves evoke a sense of purpose. A hexagonal opening at the center ensures the user to be able to lift the chamber firmly. At its end, a hemispherical recess presents itself, inviting user’s finger to glide in effortlessly, offering an alternative way to turn the roaster with a mere touch, adding an element of tactile delight to the art of coffee roasting.

Harinezumi’s base takes the form of an extended octagon, embodying both stability and aesthetic elegance. A corresponding cover on top serves as a tray to collect the fallen coffee bean skins during the roasting process providing a solution for the byproduct of the roasting journey. At the center, an octagonal wire mesh acts as a conduit for the dancing flames. This integration of form and function ensures that the chamber receives an even and consistent heat distribution, enabling precise control over the roasting process. At the bottom, polygonal openings thoughtfully incorporated to facilitate a perfect fit for most sizes and shapes of stove grates.

Harinezumi embodies meticulous attention to detail, infusing every aspect with meaning and purpose. It transcends its utilitarian objective, inviting the user to revel in the beauty of the roasting process.
