Designer Jang Woo-Seok has created the 'Take Kiss Out' polystyrene cap that's been modeled and molded based on the contours of part of the human face. The usual sipping hole in the [coffee cup lid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-compostable-coffee-cups) is produced with a gentle, curving protrusion, designed to emulate the shape of a person's mouth. Where there is typically a flat and often underutilized area of polymer material, the designer projects the form of a nose. The anthropomorphic surface has generic features that make it a unisex figure, suitable to be kissed by any person, face to face. Produced in South Korea for local B2B Cafe outlets, this coffee kiss cup top is unique, memorable and intimate, making it a distinctive part of a [coffee shop's experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-coffee-day-cups) that will keep customers coming back. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Intimate Packaging:** Opportunity to create packaging that enhances the emotional connection between consumers and products. - **Anthropomorphic Design:** Potential for incorporating human-like features into product designs to evoke emotional responses. - **Memorable Experience:** Creating unique and memorable experiences for customers through innovative product design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage Packaging:** Opportunity to revolutionize packaging in the food and beverage industry to create deeper connections with consumers. - **Coffee Shop:** Innovative coffee shop concepts that focus on creating personal and memorable experiences for customers. - **Design and Innovation:** Design firms can explore anthropomorphic design to create emotionally engaging products across various industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coffee-Cooling Travel Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beverage-tumbler.md) - [Accordion-Style Coffee Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accordion-paper-cup.md) - [Hidden Cat Kitchenware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cute-cat-coffee-cup.md) - [Uniquely Shaped Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-doublewall-latte-mugs.md) - [All-In-One Compostable Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-butterfly-cup.md) - [Kiss Lip-Shaped Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kisss-lounge-chair.md) - [Plant-Inspired Coffee Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lor-coffee-packaging.md) - [Card-Labeled Coffee Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blueprint-coffee.md) - [Love-Themed Coffee Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovethemed-coffee-blend.md)
