The Design
About The Stroke Typografisk Kaffekrus
Lavet af fint hvidt porcelæn og designet efter princippet om det gyldne snit, afslører skrivefejlkruset et typografisk symbol af himmelsk betydning for hver slurk du tager. Dette krus er en del af en serie af dekorative og funktionelle genstande, som legemliggør meget kunstneriske praksisser med subtile, men alligevel distinkte detaljer og et strejf af type. Angivet i Parachute Typefoundry's Centro-skrifttype, giver dette trykfejlskrus en dyb sjælfuld ånd med en eklektisk blanding af type, industrielt design og langvarig eksperimentering. En hyldest til menneskehedens universelle behov for forbindelse, enhed og fred.

- Unique Properties
- This is an extra fine porcelain product designed under the golden ratio principle to provide aesthetics and functionality that adhere to strict mathematical laws as well as a hands-on balanced experience.
From the proportions of nautilus shells through tree leaves, pine cone seeds or sunflower spirals to the work of trailblazing artists like Le Corbusier and Salvador Dali, the golden ratio conquered the world of aesthetics as a proportion by default pleasing to the eye.
This mug is a typographic object of desire and one that introduces its owner to a symbol of celestial importance across the passage of time, implementing a unique stroke that terminates with a sharp slit into the porcelain. - Dimensions & Packaging
