AN ORDINARY CUP

I set out to explore the space between tumbler and bowl—could a single piece serve both roles and reduce the clutter of everyday dishes? The result is a cup that stands on its own for drinks or desserts, paired with a plate whose raised center and integrated opening lets the cup nestle securely in place. Together they form a self-contained set, ideal for the sofa or a cocktail party.

The inspiration? Italian aperitivo culture.
