The X1 was Luca Trazzi s first espresso coffee machine. Presented in 1995 and sold in twenty-eight countries, the magazine WIRED described its design as retro-futuristic.
Coffee-maker X1 for Francis Francis, possesses a simple, provocative design, characterized by the central thermometer, and by the metal switch. It is a design against fashion that will never grow old, which recalls certain details of the Fiat 500's dashboard.
X1 also wants to refer to a manual or gestural use reminiscent of bygone days, no more buttons but levers and knobs. Indicating lights coupled with the manometer function to interact and make the user participate with the object and its function.
X1 wants to work simultaneously with and against the current trends of design.
The simplicity of the line, the elegant sinuosity of the curves evoke the period of the sixties and seventies in Italian Design. However, only a vague impression of that period is felt in the design, not a complete return to the historical period.
The X1 is a sober and smart object, expressing unequivocally its use. The object identifies its use on first impact representing at best these affirmations.
The round and passive forms, an easy identification of the object s use and the completion of an action that brings a moment of relax, identifies the XI as an object that will last throughout time, that will have a natural lifetime.
The acronym X1 identifies a secret code in which X indicates a project and the numbers (X1,X2,X3 .) a series of experiments of Design tied to different experiences.

Answer: Yes, this is my birth name. Of course I do realize that Jackie Onassis was another famous woman who bore this name and I do try and carry myself with that same classic american style and grace.
