Coffee for Two
centers on routine
and interpersonal
relationships.
GOAL
Coffee For Two is about waking up in the morning and having a cup of coffee with your loved ones. It’s about the sun being just a little to bright on your eyes, but staring out into the world nonetheless. It’s about taking a moment to start your day, before it really starts.

SEINFELD
“I think the answer is we all need
a little help, and the coffee’s a
little help with everything -- social,
energy, don’t know what to do next,
don’t know how to start my day,
don’t know how to get through this
afternoon, don’t know how to stay
alert. We want to do a lot of stuff;
we’re not in great shape. We didn’t
get good night’s sleep. We’re a little
depressed. Coffee solves all these
problems in one delightful little cup.”











FEATURES
The mugs are double walled so that they can be
cradled when hot, becoming warm instead of scalding,
and the coffee retains heat longer. Creating a mug
that was slipcast from a single mold and double walled
was no easy feat, and is a relatively undeveloped
manufacturing method. It involved many prototypes
and many more failures.
