The making of Chashkus cups

Overview• Process

Drawing first sketches. Trying several concepts and handle designs.

chashkus process 00

Creating quick 3D models and styrofoam mock-ups.

chashkus process 01

Searching for the graphic solution of the cups and handles.

chashkus process 02

Testing the ergonomics of handles using mock-ups with real mass.

chashkus process 03

Searching for the shape of handles and edges of the cups.

chashkus process 04

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.

chashkus process 08

We need a full set of cups and saucers. Examining cross-sections of each pair.
