- With the theme "To go Mug", "Softline" is designed for coffee lovers. Thanks to its form, it can be used both for drinking coffee and as a bowl (Granola, Fruit Salad, smoothie etc.) It offers heat insulation with its silicone cover while keeping your food or coffee safe inside. It also offers a fun use thanks to its different color combinations, glossy and matte surface.

However, we wanted to go beyond this routine and add a little playfulness.

Portability is also important for a coffee addict person which we considered this and adapt to our design. Softline mugs are always portable with its silicone lids and use as a storage container and bowl. In this way its giving the user many advantages as we desired.
- Research
- We observed that coffee lovers enjoy drinkinig their coffees hot. So Unlike standard Mug lids, the drinking hole on the lid is designed with a 3 degree angle.

It is designed to reduce the use of paper cups and plastic containers in the food and beverage industry, while continuing our sustainability journey.
