Wood Cup

Description

I am a Wood Cup. Who wood have thought? You can now stay in with a cup this thin.

Curator’s Notes

This Wood Cup is very special to us. It’s shape is inspired by the eight ounce paper cup from a local coffee shop that has been a part of our mornings ever since we opened our store. We wanted to faithfully reinterpret this cup in a single hand-turned piece of wood, that would feel almost identical to the original in our hands and on our lips. Its thin edges make it light but durable; a subtle protective coating prevents staining. The result is an object that is distinctly representative of our time in New York, our relationship with Japanese artisans, and our belief that beautifully crafted items should be used and enjoyed as much as possible.
