my cup by efrat gommeh


'my cup' by efrat gommeh


'lock cup' by israeli designer efrat gommeh is an ex-equo honorable mention of the designboom 'design a key and what it opens' competition
with beck's. the design features a hole which prevents individuals, other than the owner, from using the mug, accompanied by a key
to close the hole so that the drinking vessel then becomes usable.

now gommeh's design fittingly goes by the name of 'my cup' and is for sale online by schneider.
it measures 10cm high and 8cm in diameter and utilizes removable silicone plugs which the owner keeps possession of for use.
so, if you're tired of your co-workers using your favorite mug, this may be your answer!

is this just me or did anyone else think glory hole?
chrisk   07.08.11
well nope , i didn't, i just thought butt plug.

maybe it's a bit tongue in cheek ( or similar).

I didnt think glory hole but i did think the "co-worker" would use duck tape to cover the hole. This is a fantastic idea that keeps honest people honest. But the honest people arent the targets here.

I initially thought the little red thing looked like a tiny red dick haha

love the little penis

Cool idea but nothing a tape can't fix.
Red pens   07.08.11
I think I'd probably loose the plug thus making the cup useless!
Jonboy   07.10.11
have fun drinking glue particles that detach from the duct tape. non-fossil-based plastics for the plug and say goodbye to bisphenol a. enjoy your coffee!
mpxy   07.10.11
Never mind the mug, I've always wanted a gnome penis key ring!
gonefishin   07.11.11
Does it get any more phallic than this?
the Turk   07.12.11
We need it????
Dario   07.14.11
I will use my every last bit of energy to pull out that plug while the coffee is sitting above some nice anal Mac.
