A mug with numbers for the handle.
Group together numbers as a birthday or anniversary present, or choose the numbers of a new address as a house-warming gift. Place numbers that have a special meaning on your table.
Numberless ways to have fun. Will you divide them among the family by birth month? Will you set it to the number of cups of coffee you've had today? Will you mark it with a special anniversary? What numbers have special importance for you?
My birthday! Combine them to make up someone's birth date for a great birthday present!
Tenth anniversary! Or give them as a wedding anniversary present! 10th, 20th, 30th...
For luck! What's your lucky number? Use it everyday for luck!
Yours! The number stands out! You'll know which cup is yours at a glance!
I've had enough! How many cups of coffee have you had today? You can use the numbers to count as you drink!
Designer's Comments: Even though numbers can be enjoyed as elements of various designs, they are usually used on flat surfaces. With the NUMBER CUP, I attempt to invoke the 3rd dimension in numbers by giving them the ability to be picked up & held in your h&. In doing so I aim for the fun in numbers to be brought to life & enjoyed in ways they typically aren't.
