Lavazza Cookie Cup By Enrique Luis Sardi

Venezuelan designer Enrique Luis Sardi has teamed up with Italian coffee company Lavazza to create a master piece of green design: Cookie cup.

First you drink the coffee, then you eat the cup! Brilliant. And perhaps many of us have thought of something like this at some point, but they did it!

“The cup is made of pastry covered with a special icing sugar, which works as an insulator, and makes the cup waterproof hence allowing you to use the cup and then appreciate its taste.”

This goes back to 2003, but it is never late to celebrate such a great product.

A Better World By Design Conference

Today marks the last day of the Better World by Design Conference between Rhode Island School of Design and Brown University. This year, the conference has grown to 500 attendees from all over the globe. The event has brought together a global community of innovators to Providence, Rhode Island, to reach across disciplines and unite under a common goal. Presenters have been sharing inspiring and engaging stories all weekend. It’s been a very motivational event we’re feeling refreshed and ready to put all of this new knowledge into practice!

To take a look at the list of speakers here.
