Vegetables Carrot Coffee Cup

The Vegetables Carrot Coffee Cup borrows its silhouette from the vegetable patch, turning a familiar root into something to drink coffee from. It brings a note of colour and quiet humour to the morning routine, sitting comfortably beside plainer cups and saucers on an open shelf. For a couple building a home where good design need not be serious, it reads as a small, considered flourish, the sort of piece that starts a conversation over breakfast and still looks at home on a pared-back table.
