with a discerning and minimalist eye, product design company kutarq studio pays homage to traditional jewellery and decorum with its latest coffee cup series, ‘cerco’. the 3D printed espresso cup features a handle that hugs the cup like a piercing — a nod to the culture of adornment and body art.

‘cerco’s’ circular handle is as much a design element as it is a thoughtfully placed handgrip for the perfect sip. kutarq’s design is an eye-catching espresso cup adorned with a delicate, looping handle. the cup itself is printed by OTHR — an on-demand 3D printed design brand producing objects by today’s most talented designers.
