Must Have Mug


stain6.jpgAre you familiar with Stylehive?  I’ve been seeing some pretty cool stuff on that site.  It’s a great resource not only for trend spotting, but also learning about up and coming designers.  Plus you have a chance to read and post feedback about the items, which can be a big help knowing what others think before making a purchase, especially when buying online.  I just spotted a set of mugs on Stylehive called “Stain” which were designed by Bethan Laura Wood

According to Wood’s website:
Stain is a set of a teacups designed to improve through use. This project examines the assumption that use is damaging to a product (For example, scratches on an iPod).The interior surface of the cup is treated so as to stain more in predetermined places. The more the cups are used, the more the pattern is revealed. Over time they will build up an individual pattern dependent on the users personal way of drinking tea. 

As much as I love them, sadly I don’t think they are for sale, unlike many of the other great discoveries I’ve made on Stylehive.  For sale or not, the tea mugs deserve a look, as they truly are a work of art.
