The SOPP glasses by Felicie Eymard Ericsdottir come with an innovative curved bottom shape that is ideal for a better handheld grip and cupboard stacking.
Unlike most cylinder-shaped glasses, the SOPP cups come with a mushroom-inspired design. The bottom of the glass is significantly smaller than the top making it easier for your hand to clutch the cup. Because of this smaller bottom these glasses can easily be stockpiled inside one another to save space. You can stack of these cups on top of each other and fit them snuggly inside your cupboards. The SOPP cups were designed by Ericsdottir for a Belgian firm called Durobor and they come in either a small, medium or large size. These cups creatively get their obscure name from the Norwegian word for mushroom.
