Loop your espresso into the Möbino cup
The intriguing Möbius strip takes the shape of an expresso cup with the new series designed by Metaform Architects.
Inspired by the Luxembourg pavilion, Metaform Architects’ winning entry at the World Expo in Dubai 2020, and embodies the same dynamic qualities expressed in the pavilion, Möbino continues the exploration of swirl.
Entirely designed and made in Luxembourg, the cups are designed to protect the integrity of the crema - the rich aromatic froth that crowns your coffee.
This ceramic surface is twisted into an eternal curve, allowing coffee to slide along its edge and into the base of the cup in one unbroken swirl. This spiral motion retains the natural crema for a fuller, long-lasting flavour.
Beyond the form
The cup features a double-walled structure that keeps your hands cool and your coffee hot.
It is sculpted for the curvature of the thumb and palm, and it allows for 20ml of coffee – the optimum volume for the perfect brew.
In good hands
"Möbino blends the geometric precision of parametric design with artisan craftsmanship. It is made exclusively in Luxembourg by Ateliers Kräizbierg – a cooperative company dedicated to the professional and social inclusion of people with disabilities. Each cup is a one-of-a-kind piece of art that is sculpted and glazed by hand in our workshop by a dedicated team of talented people," explained Marc Bissen, Head of Management.
“We are very proud that, after months of research and testing, we found an innovative solution to make this beautiful design come to life. It is a successful partnership where design meets ambitious craftsmanship.”
All of the proceeds of Möbino will go directly to the Kräizbierg Foundation to further support its ambition of providing skills and opportunities for people with disabilities to thrive in society.
“Metaform’s main intention with this project is to highlight the honourable activity at Kräizbierg, thus helping and providing education for people with disabilities, while focusing on social belonging. It is important to mention their motivation and high competence in supporting them through their daily encounters. This is about much more than a cup…” Shahram Agaajani, Founding Partner, Metaform.
