The 'Aleatorio Mug' has Sculptural Form Factor

— May 15, 2018 — Art & Design
Everyone has their personal preference when it comes to drinking a cup of coffee, and the Aleatorio Mug from design brand 'Recreation Center' lets consumers show off their unique personal style in the choice of vessel. Not only does the mug take on an uncommon, sculptural shape, but its two different color options are also shaped completely differently from one another, letting consumers add even more personal flair.

The Aleatorio Mugs are designed by Josephine Heilpern, the proprietor of Recreation Center and a denizen of Brooklyn, New York. The handpainted stoneware mugs are crafted using classic techniques, and they're each slightly different because of this hands-on approach to composing them. The mugs are currently on sale at select locations of the design store Anthropologie.
