Coffee cups are designed with one primary objective – to hold every precious drop of coffee as it makes the journey from table to mouth. Good intentions aside, a few rogue drops of coffee inevitably seem to jump out of the cup and spill onto the saucer. Turkish-born product designer Erdem Selek has conjured up a cup and saucer to maximise the fun quota associated with any coffee drops that make their way to no-man’s-land on the saucer. Raised pathways form a maze that traverses the saucer, allowing the coffee drinker to direct coffee droplets on a quick adventure. Both a time-filler and an exercise in navigation, the Oluk Maze Coffee Cup is sure to spark conversation and raise competitive streaks around the office dining area or the breakfast table at home.
