LOA Coffe Cup Drink Coffee And Saucer

LOA Coffe Cup Drink coffee and saucer is an innovative ceramic beverage vessel that reimagines the traditional coffee cup through a distinctive triangular morphology, designed by Puerto Rican architect Josué Rivera Gandîa. This sophisticated piece of tableware, crafted from high-temperature resistant stoneware, represents a thoughtful intersection of form and function, incorporating architectural principles into everyday object design. The cup's unique triangular form emphasizes three distinct corner points, symbolically representing the primary spheres of daily life: home, work, and leisure. Its design employs a folded aesthetic that maintains visual continuity while creating dynamic spatial relationships, drawing inspiration from the light studies of Spanish architects Sanchez and Madridejos. The piece features an integrated handle and boasts impressive technical specifications, including temperature resistance up to 250 degrees and a 2-ounce capacity, with dimensions of 50.8 mm in width, depth, and height. The design successfully overcame significant manufacturing challenges, particularly in the integration of the handle with the main body. Winner of the Bronze A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware Design category, this piece exemplifies the marriage of architectural thinking with functional design, offering users not only a vessel for coffee consumption but also a conversation piece that elevates the daily ritual of coffee drinking through its thoughtful design language and cultural significance. The cup's design emphasizes both individual expression and communal interaction, making it equally suitable for personal use or social settings.
