made especially for the beach, ‘screw cup’ by south korean, barcelona-based designer minji jung does what its name suggests. by turning the mug just like a screw, the device can be secured into the sand. a practical solution for sandy and windy conditions at the beach, when dug into the ground the cup has two advantages: liquid isn’t spilt over the side and the drink is kept cool even on hot summer days. made from ceramic, the quirky piece solves that ever-annoying dilemma of warm liquid just when you need to be rehydrated the most.
