Jang Woo-Seok previously designed the 'Take Kiss Out' portable coffee cups back in 2015, which have proven to be a popular purchase amongst caffeine-loving consumers. The lip of the portable coffee cups feature a design based on the shape of a human mouth, allowing people to get their fix in a much more intimate way.
Now, Jang Woo-Seok has translated the design to pay tribute to President Barack Obama. In order to do so, the humanistic lids of the cups incorporate features based on those of the president, letting supporters take their affection for the leader to the next level. The lids also use a more geometric style than earlier designs, giving them an abstract look while also offering a more stable surface to drink from.
