Marbled Espresso Cups

'Smoke' Espresso Cups are Designed with Unique and Individual Designs

— May 24, 2017 — Art & Design
'Smoke' espresso cups are a small line of designer cups designed by 'bisqit,' a small porcelain studio based in Prague.

Each cup is unique in design and is meant to represent the whimsical and fleeting movements of wisps of smoke. Adorned with different colors and sizes, each handmade piece is crafted by melting pigments directly into the porcelain, which creates a different design each time. Each cup is fired at an extremely high heat to ensure it can withstand both the microwave and the dishwasher, making for convenient use and cleanup.

The espresso cups are a collection inspired by smoke and its "passing wavy existence." The uniqueness of the design process allows for no two cups to look the same, speaking to a group of people who value personally curated items, which represent unequivocal individuality.
Trend Themes
1. Handcrafted Porcelain Ware - The trend of handcrafted porcelain ware can provide opportunities for small, local studios to create unique and bespoke products for consumers who value individuality.
2. Personalized Espresso Cups - Consumers are looking for unique and personalized espresso cups, and designers can offer one-of-a-kind creations that speak to this demand.
3. Melting Pigments for Unique Design - The use of melted pigments in porcelain design can lead to unique and customizable products that appeal to consumers looking for bespoke pieces.
Industry Implications
1. Ceramics and Pottery - The ceramics and pottery industry can leverage the trend of handcrafted and personalized pieces, using unique design techniques to create bespoke products for consumers.
2. Home Decor and Design - The trend of personalized and unique products in home decor and design can provide opportunities for designers and businesses to create bespoke pieces like marbled espresso cups that appeal to consumers.
