Dishware That Inspires Happiness

The Smile Cup

Studio Psyho developed a fun cup-and-saucer design concept called the Smile Cup. The cup is shaped like a half moon (reminds me of PACMAN’s mouth shape) and two black eyes are printed on the saucer. From a top view, the cup-and-saucer combo looks just like a smile. From the side, the cup sure looks unusual, which I suppose is a cool thing in itself.

What a great way to put a smile on your face with every sip!
