designer's own words:

A cup for holding hot beverages year round. In the summer the ‘glove’ protects your hands from the hot cup with your hands outside and dual layers of insulation. In colder weather your hands are inserted in the ‘glove’ where the beverage warms your hands and the outer cloth protects your hands from the wind. The form of the cups and vase(bottle) mimic the aesthetic as well as the form of the human hand.
