Postcups

The perfect gift for someone special! Designed to be sent like postcards, Postcups are microwave-safe white porcelain cups with a message on one side, such as “Miss You” or “Thinking of You”. The other side features a postcard design by Re Jin. Add a personal message and your recipient’s address – and it will be hand written it onto the cup and sent away.

Great design for a disposable cup!

At least it's declaring where it's going...

LOTS of Green

In response to the takeaway culture where disposable items make up a considerable proportion of containers used on a daily basis, LOTS design introduced an alternative take-away cup - Imprint - that contributes to the taste sensation and can be used for a long time, throughout the day and by all generations.

Imprint is a thermo cup made of double-wall china with a painted gold rim and a tight-fitting rubber lid. The series comes in 2 sizes and a variety of color combinations.

WMF 1

An interesting product, as a cool looking reusable cup and it makes coffee too.

The WMF 1 coffee pad machine can be used nearly at all places where you want to enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee, whether in the office, on the terrace or even in the bedroom. In less than one minute your WMF 1 prepares a cup of flavoursome fresh coffee. The water tank contains the volume you need for one cup of coffee. Thus, you will always brew with fresh water. Insert a standard coffee pad of your choice into the pad holder. Just press the button, and in less than one minute your cup of flavoursome fresh coffee will be brewed.

Cupkin

The Cupkin (cup + napkin) s a machine that handles waste and recycles disposable cutlery in fast-food restaurants. When you put a cup into the machine, you can see it being shredded to pieces and then sorted. From that “waste” napkins are made—the same ones available in the restaurants.
