This Beautiful Espresso Cup, Made by Combining Digital Fabrication with Handwork
Posted in: UncategorizedThis ceramic espresso cup, which I badly want to touch, was designed by Luxembourg-based Metaform Architects. The form was inspired by the firm’s design for the Luxembourg pavilion at the World Expo in Dubai 2020.
The original form was 3D-printed, then used to make ceramic molds.
“Möbino is the outcome of a rewarding collaboration between community and technology, which unites design and craftsmanship in the heart of Luxembourg.”
“Möbino takes the shape of a Möbius strip – a single twisted surface that symbolizes infinity. Each piece is formed, crafted and glazed by hand at Ateliers Kräizbierg “SIS”, a cooperative society with eight different workshops that provide new skills and opportunities for people with disabilities. In order to further support their ambitions, all the proceeds of the Möbino will go to the Kräizbierg Foundation.”
Sadly, there’s no purchase link on Metaform’s site nor the Kräizbierg Foundation’s website. The piece was designed in 2022, and I hope it’s still in production.
