The Omtanke Mug is a conceptual mug design, aimed to address several issues with the most common form of mug that you see today (the typical cylinder with a handle attached).
'Omtanke' means 'careful consideration' in Swedish.
For the usual office-worker, the mug is an object used frequently and kept close by, helping you to get through the day. I believe that an object with this level of closeness should have a level of careful design choices to match.
There are a lot of novelty mugs out there, designed to be high-tech, humorous, or even just plain wacky. This is not one of those mugs. Realistically, nothing can replace the simplicity of a ceramic or porcelain mug. Playing to this strength, the Omtanke Mug is made of a single material, but goes further than traditional mugs by really taking the concept of 'form follows function' seriously.
The sleek, minimalistic, yet practical design of the Omtanke Mug prevents mishaps, feels great in your hands, and quietly supports you throughout the day.
