Single use cups are bad for the planet, yet the alternatives haven’t even made a dent in their use.
We hope that changes, and we think innovation and design can be one way to solve this trash dilemma.
Designer Kalina Gotseva shows us a compelling cup simply called Reusable, and it features a number of unique design innovations.
3D printed from a silicone material, the cup has an origami-style design that folds entirely flat for easy use. The hard lid keeps the design in place while drinking. When you’re done using it, the cup beautifully folds in on itself, and nests inside the lid, making it super simple to carry and store.
Still just a concept, we want to see this come to life! See more of Gotseva’s work on Behance.
The handsome design of the coffee cup, along with its highly functional and reusable benefits make it a no brainer. Silicone is a great, heat resistant material that can be made food grade and has nearly infinite reusability.
This fun, cheeky video below shows off the cup’s concept.
The cup features a unique speckled appearance, and comes in a range of colors.
The cup stays rigid when the cap is on, and folds up entirely when not in use.
Food-grade silicone is great at handling hot beverages.
In a sea of disposable cups, we love reusable, well designed alternatives that you actually want to use.
This image shows how the clever design neatly folds flat, and stores inside of the cap.
