Design of the Week (No.18)

Stir-ring my imagination this week is:

(No.18) The MazeCafé by Friend & Friends

I came across this the other day and I'm a bit surprised I haven't seen it before. The MazeCafé is a cup and saucer with a little maze embossed into the surface of the saucer. So when you inevitably spill your beverage, you can chase the dribble around the maze (presumably until it wells in the middle or falls off the saucer...?!).

Nice bit of product photography here!

A-maze-ing! (oh dear!)

I kinda like this, because it reminds me of something I came up with several years back involving an egg and the runny yoke. But then again, is it completely pointless? I guess that's up for debate, but at a boring conference function, it might be just what you need to keep you sane!
