Speed, the bright gleam of metal, streamlined forms that offer little resistance to the wind were the signs of modernity in the thirties. The creativity which generated the streamlined design of Nivola® incorporates the artistic and cultural influence of currents of thought that from futurism led to italian Bolidism. An American movement in particular used them to revolitionize the way of designing everyday objects and machines: it was called Streamlining and had the merit of not only making the shapes of many industrial product more aesthetic and pleasing, but also inaugurated a new relationship between machine and man. It was the start of attention being paid to ease of use and practicality; in one world - ergonomics.

Materials selected for their qualities of strength and durability, always in line with the quality level of the design: these are the finishing touch for a refined, sophisticated design. The Nivola® housing is in mirror-finish polished aluminium complete with a Plexiglass cup-covering dome. The grids are in non-corrosive stainless steel, the boiler unit and the filter holder are in brass, while the filter holder grip is in authentic Bakelite.
