Searching for the graphic solution of the cups and handles.
Testing the ergonomics of handles using mock-ups with real mass.
Searching for the shape of handles and edges of the cups.
Continuing the search for the graphic solution.
Creating styrofoam mock-ups.
Looking at iterations of the models and printing first prototypes on a 3D printer.
The cup has to be stable on the saucer, exploring shapes.
We need a full set of cups and saucers. Examining cross-sections of each pair.
Finalizing.
