Cartoonist-Drawn Glass Markers

These Suction Cup Figurines Stick onto Cups to Track Your Drinking

— July 26, 2013 — Art & Design
These cute little suction cup figurines by Norwegian company Unikia mark your cup. These charms will come in handy when you’re at a party and want to distinctly label which glass is yours. They will also serve as great distractions when you’re bored in a conversation.

The suction cup charms are not only reusable, but also fun to play with—children will absolutely love them. Not surprisingly, the charms were drawn by a Norwegian cartoonist named Audun Røberg. Each is colorful and unique shape, easily indicating certain cups apart from others.

Each intricately detailed figurine is the size of a fingernail. Attaching such tiny objects onto your wine glass will remind you those suction cup window toys. Infusing such toyish accessories with an elegant experience might seem peculiar, but it could be new and exciting.
