I often gripe about how usability is sacrificed for the sake of looks - an unfortunate reality in consumer product design - so it's refreshing to see an example of each helping the other.
The Floating Mug, a concept by
Tigere Chiriga currently having a go on Kickstarter, eliminates the need for a coaster by levitating the actual mug above its handle-cantilevered bottom. This functional feature also creates a striking visual; you can't help but give it a second look. I'm impressed that the very same feature first grabs your attention, then serves a useful function. Thanks, Tigere, for getting ID and usability to play nicely together!
