Beautiful work by the students from The Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, Ramat Gan. They were tasked by their lecturers to re-invent the Coffee (and Espresso) or Tea Cup by “deep diving” into our coffee culture and understanding the coffee drinking rituals involved.

Overall fantastic work, and a great showcase of how Designers can gain critical insight for product creation through ethnographic studies. Just where is this school? I would love to visit it!

Check out the rest of the refreshing concepts at Design Boom.

    You are welcome to visit Israel.
    Shenkar’s industrial design is the youngest in Israeli design schools and going strong.

    Another thought: Daniel- if you can specify a model I can find the student through a web design community in Israel, which I manage

    You didn’t reinvent anything. You put a flap at the end of a regular cup. Here’s a reason why no one has heard of Israeli design.
