Why is the Compleat Cup a great piece of design?
Numerous initiatives are going on out there to make the ubiquitous coffee cup greener and whilst we all get our heads round the habit of a reusable cup, here’s neat solution called Compleat Cup from an architect in the US who developed this idea in his spare time.
Better in every respect, it feels like up-take could be smooth as it isn’t just one party that benefits:
- Noticeably different in terms of aesthetic means there’s little risk of it going ‘under the radar’ with the consumer
- More printable area means more space for brand messaging
- A simple closure system helps store operators / Baristas do their job quicker
- And a single piece of cartonboard packaging, sourced from just one supplier means the Procurement team will be happy too.
I’ll drink to that.
