The Melt Mug

A ceramic mug that's a little... off. Limited edition of 100.

Your average coffee mug, if it melted into the table just a little bit.

What's the one move?

The Melt Mug serves as a daily challenge to the laws of physics. It's also a perfect example of our studio's approach to design– what if we took an object and just slightly changed it?

Behind The Project

Making The Melt Mug

If it looks familiar, that's because it is! The Melt Mug is the cool older brother of the original Tea for Two Teacup. Many of our projects are iterations of past ideas. There are no bad ideas– just ones that haven't been pushed far enough yet.
