Elegance on the go…
I don’t know about you guys but I am getting tired of seeing adults walking around with cups of coffee and those silly little sippy cup to-go tops. We are grown ups, can’t we all manage to drink our coffees or teas on the go without spilling it all over ourselves? What are we 6 years old? Laurent Corio has added a little taste of elegance and maturity to a commonly used convenience. By making the saucer section serve double duty as the to-go top, this cup design dubbed “To Go” is a great way to look like an English man in New York and not a child drinking his milk.

in times of high oil prices, and crude oil (!) we can’t produce stuff like that. this is 100% plastics, isn’t it?

On the other hand, how do you drink when you’re not on the go?
Grim says
I like the design of that bag the turist is carrying.
igreenspot says
ah … simple yet genius idea, now I can drink my coffee like an adult
zippyflounder says
made of bio degradeable bio plastic its cool,
RS08 says
I don’t think that cup is very elegant but the idea is nice. Finally the not-so-unique on the go cups can be replaced!
Abektes says
Very cool
tom says
nice, and i know im being picky but surley you wouldnt be able to actually finish the drink, the hole is too high up!
Elepski says
could be made of ceramic…..

Excellent! Practical and a beautiful marriage of function and form. If only the bland plastic facade was decked with some colorful swirls, this would sell!!

hmmm … perhaps the opening is a little “odd” … should be able to drink from … but you’re gonna be locking lips over this little gap … hehe like a bottle or something … Would it spill as you tilt it over your lips? How to create a seal over the saucer and cup?
This bland thing we see in the picture is probably a hand made prototype?
Plastics isn’t going to b too expensive … if you have a high demand volume … select a choice of material … PP or PC ? Add motiffs to the sides … you should have a take a away cup to go. Don’t think StarBucks is gonna give them cups like these away …
I feel its very possible to manufacture … any interested buyers?
nwdesigner says
To respond to the last comment on the “beautiful marriage of function and form.” I’m going to disagree based on 2 key functional flaws in the design. 1. i would be astonished if the “saucer” would actually form a seal when in “drink” mode. 2. Like someone said before, coffee would sit in the crevasse while drinking – this dictates a awkward drinking experience for the user. i don’t want to dis completely on the design/concept, because it could be done with the same concept just a different form and probably work.

I don’t see how not spilling water make you more adult… It basically just a cup that prevent spill isn’t? I still think the form, and function (the size and capacity of water, the hole for flow) can be improve more.
Christine says
This design looks like a child’s sippy cup. It completely defeats any “adult” purpose described in the introductory paragraph. I would be completely embarrassed to be seen walking around the city with this.
Afivey says
I prefer just to sit down and drink my coffee, and if I’m really in a hurry I just order an espresso.
zoosty says
i dont like it.
ModuleS says
Explain why you don’t like it or how it can be improved.
paul sandip says
in picture no. 2, the nose is touching the object….is that desirable?…i don’t think so!
edel says
this would spill just as easily if not more so than the snap-on ones it seems…
Maestro says
That ufo dish has nothing to do atop there either in portability, help contol noise(
) while drinking of hot liquids, feasibility to manufacture. This design is a complete loss of labor and effort in mass manufacture without any achievement successfullier. You can`t drink a hot coffee like a bottle of cola. Also it has no breathing hole. Accidental crashes with this dishcap doesn`t sound safe though. Aimless crap.
imsilentfish says
I can’t imagine to drink from the small opening neatly while on the go without “spilling it all over ourselves”,at least “spilling it all over the plate”……
