Dieser Becher ist Teil einer Reihe dekorativer und funktionaler Objekte, die hochkünstlerische Praktiken mit subtilen, aber klaren Details und einem Hauch von Typ verkörpern. Diese Typo-Tasse ist in der Centro-Schrift von Parachute Typefoundry gehalten und vermittelt einen tiefen, gefühlvollen Geist mit einer eklektischen Mischung aus Schriftart, Industriedesign und langem Experimentieren. Eine Hommage an das universelle Bedürfnis der Menschheit nach Konnektivität, Einheit und Frieden.

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.
