Playful, Useful Tableware - This teapot’s shape is inspired by a racing car. It’s circular side walls determine the “course”: it is to be rolled on the table surface, until it reaches the cup and fills it up. Each time the pot is turned, its inner walls enable to pour exactly one cup of 220cc. Thus, the teapot makes a semi-circular path until it reaches the cup and rests upon it. That is when the water is poured into the cup.

Cup On Wheels - The bottom of this cup contains wheels and a spring, similar to those found in small toy cars. The spring is attached to the wheels and continues on, through the handle, inside the cup, where it has a propeller attached to it. By grabbing the handle, the user “drives” the cup back and forth on the table surface and thus causing the propeller inside the cup to twist and swirl the drink.

Boxer Cup - In this cup, the handle is comprised of four large rings attached to each other. The rings are intended to contain the basic foods and objects needed for drinking the coffee: packed cream, sugar and coffee, as well as a stirring element. When the preparation of the coffee is over, the free rings become the handle of the cup, each filled by one finger.

Sugar Free Dispenser - The mechanism of this object works on the principal of a typical doll’s eye (namely, a weight that is forced down by gravitation). When the dispenser stands on the table, it is always closed; but when it is tilted to a dispensing position, the “eye” will open and allow one sugar-free tablet to come out.
