A family of automated cooks
VasantaAutomated masala chai, brewed in the open. The machine takes the tireless part of the craft — the care stays yours.
Vasanta · the season of spring
Machines that take the tireless, repetitive part of a craft — and leave the human the part that matters: the recipe, the care, the welcome.
The Four Laws — the whole design system
01Glass core
The work is never hidden.
Tea steeping, spices dosing, milk blooming into chai — all visible through glass. We don’t hide the machine. We make watching it the pleasure.
02Two ingredients
Matte white and glass. Nothing else.
The body is white. The window is glass. No wood, no brushed metal, no gloss — the only restraint that matters.
03Color through glass
The only color is one you could drink.
The brand is monochrome. The single accents in the whole system are the food itself — amber, cream, cardamom green — seen through the glass.
04By humans and machines
A human still matters.
Someone loads the spice, refills the milk, picks the blend. We print the seam where human meets machine. We never pretend the machine does it all.

Build in public · open source
We design Vasanta in the open, every Tuesday.
At the Vibe Coding Lounge, I design and Claude Code builds — live. The whole thing is open source. Pull up a chair, fork it, ship it.
Track 01 — Interface
The ordering UI
The screen people actually order from — voice-first, warm, and honest about what the machine is doing.

Track 02 — Embedded
The software inside
The firmware that doses the spice, keeps the fire, and pours the cup. Real hardware, built live.
The whole point
The world could use more chai — and more people talking over it. Let the machine make the chai; the conversation is ours.
