Tabli by Florian Seidl Wins Gold in A’ Appliance Industry Awards

Florian Seidl’s Capsule Free Coffee System Tabli Receives Gold A’ Home Appliances Design Award Recognition

COMO, CO, ITALY, August 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The A’ Design Award has announced Tabli, a capsule free coffee machine designed by Florian Seidl for Lavazza, as a recipient of the Gold A’ Design Award in the Home Appliances Design category. This recognition is granted by one of the world’s highly respected and well-established design competitions, which evaluates entries through a rigorous and impartial review process. The A’ Home Appliances Design Award holds notable standing within the home appliance industry, drawing participation from designers, manufacturers, and brands worldwide. Selection at the Gold level reflects a measured assessment of innovation, functionality, and sustainability. For Tabli, this distinction acknowledges a thoughtful response to the environmental challenges associated with single serve coffee systems.

The recognition of Tabli carries relevance beyond the design itself, addressing a pressing concern shared across the home appliance industry and among coffee consumers. As demand grows for products that combine convenience with reduced environmental impact, Tabli aligns with current sustainability trends through its capsule free approach. The system removes aluminium, plastic, and coating from the single serve format, presenting ground coffee in an innovative tab. This direction supports industry efforts toward lower waste and greater material responsibility. For users, the design offers familiar convenience alongside a meaningful reduction in environmental footprint.

Tabli is composed of several distinct volumes, including a solid main body and a large external water tank. The slider element, which subtly resembles a coffee bean, integrates the user interface and contributes to the coherent character of the appliance. Constructed from injection moulded plastic, the main shell and cup rest incorporate up to forty-one percent recycled material depending on colour, while the water tank uses SAN plastic and the feet and interface employ silicone rubber. The appliance is repairable, manufactured in Europe, and engineered for low energy consumption. Each component, from the name and packaging to the machine and accessories, was developed to form a unified whole.

The Gold A’ Design Award for Tabli may serve as encouragement for Lavazza and Florian Seidl to continue exploring sustainable directions in coffee technology. The recognition highlights the value of integrating environmental considerations into product development from the outset. As a completely new system requiring extensive technical development across multiple levels, Tabli demonstrates how research driven design can advance established practices. This achievement may inspire further innovation within the brand and contribute to evolving expectations for single serve coffee solutions.
