The designer explains: “The effects of 5 incremental rises in temperature, from +1 to +5°C, and the sea levels corresponding to each temperature rise is represented by thin wave lines. The following items, covered by the surface of the waves, are the predicted effects of those rising temperatures and sea levels (…) The ‘Only 1°C Change Can Affect Us’ cup series is made of eco-friendly ceramic. The cups, by means of the messages printed on them, draw people’s attention to the impact that global warming will have on their daily lives in the future. Also, when the cups are used, we can be satisfied about not using disposable cups made of plastic or paper, and we can also feel good about raising awareness of the problem of disposable cups.”
