Metaform Architects has released the espresso cup designed to protect the integrity of your crema - the rich aromatic froth that crowns your coffee. Möbino espresso cup takes the shape of a Möbius strip - a single, continuous surface that symbolises infinity.

This ceramic surface is twisted into an eternal curve, allowing coffee to slide along its edge and into the base of the cup in one unbroken swirl. This spiral motion retains the natural crema for a fuller, long-lasting flavour. Its design was inspired by the Luxembourg pavilion, Metaform’s winning entry at the World Expo in Dubai 2020, and embodies the same dynamic qualities expressed in the pavilion.

Metaform’s main intention with this project is to highlight the honorable activity at Kräizbierg, thus helping and providing education for people with disabilities, while focusing on social belonging. It is important to mention their motivation and high competence in supporting them through their daily encounters. This is about much more than a cup…

Beyond the form

The cup features a double-walled structure that keeps your hands cool and your coffee hot. It is sculpted for the curvature of the thumb and palm, and it allows for 20ml of coffee – the optimum volume for the perfect brew.

Möbino blends the geometric precision of parametric design with artisan craftsmanship. It is made exclusively in Luxembourg by Ateliers Kräizbierg – a cooperative company dedicated to the professional and social inclusion of people with disabilities. Each cup is a one-of-a-kind piece of art that is sculpted and glazed by hand in our workshop by a dedicated team of talented people.
