Unveiling the RIMOWA La Marzocco Linea Mini espresso machine.

Along its storied journey, RIMOWA has continuously forged partnerships with industry leaders, merging its expertise to craft iconic pieces that embody its values of innovation and design. Now, the German Maison is proud to introduce its newest collaborator: La Marzocco, a global leader in handmade espresso machinery.

At the heart of the partnership is the RIMOWA x La Marzocco Linea Mini espresso machine, a compact machine that’s been revisited to feature RIMOWA’s signature grooved aluminium and an array of bespoke components expertly crafted by skilled artisans.

Made in Florence Italy, with each piece requiring 40 hours of dedicated craftsmanship, the limited-edition espresso machine represents a shared design venture for the two legendary brands, bringing together the ingenuity and meticulous attention to detail they’re both known for.

To celebrate the collaboration, the two brands are making their way to Milan for the opening of CAFFÈ RIMOWA, a pop up set to be held for the duration of Salone del Mobile. There, the piece will take centre stage, while guests can enjoy espressos made of a unique coffee blend that’s specially crafted for the event.
