Everyday objects.

AT THE TABLE

A base designed to settle

The squared footprint adds stability on busy tables while giving the cup a distinctive stance within a familiar category.

IN THE HAND

The grip becomes the identity

The recessed vertical panel gives fingers a clear place to land and makes the ergonomic idea visible from across the table.

02 / Coffee lid system

Well traveled.
Better by design.
