Sold as a pair, A B2B OF CUPS is available today.

Designed by Luciano Menghini (b.1994) and distributed by Postmodern Tectonics™, the limited edition run perfectly embodies a desire to transform the ready-made qualities of utilitarian pottery into sculptural pieces, “dimming” the familiarity of ubiquitous objects into gently legible sculptural forms. 

The result is one cup that appears to be in a permanent state of fusion or “cheers” with itself — a stationary object that somehow manages to oscillate in space.

Is it two cups in one? Or one cup in two? 

This dynamism is made even more pronounced by a slight slant at the bottom of the cup which allows it to tilt slightly from side-to-side when a small amount of pressure is applied. 

This is a really fun, joyful, somewhat addictive little design detail that encourages the owner to remain in a constant state of play with the object. A fidget spinner for your liquids, if you will.

And, of course, the best part — you can drink from them! 

They also work well as quirky containers for your favorite pens or pencils — a flair piece for your home office.

We love how Luciano has taken one of the most universal yet homogeneous objects, and reinterpreted it through a fresh lens, creating a new dialogue that we hope he will continue into future objects.
