This Cup Has A Ring To It

Posted in: dining, impaired, Soon-sik Choi, Visually, xylophone

In an attempt to make life simpler for those with sight disabilities, designer Soon-sik Choi offers an effortless solution to the task of filling a cup. When the cup is almost full the handle makes a distinct ‘ring’ sound. The audio cue of the Xylophone Cup is a good enough warning for the user to know that the cup is almost to the brim and to stop pouring more liquid.

Designer: Soon-sik Choi
