The objective of this project is to make use of the Sturbucks paper cups in order to use them to design different objects like: pencil holder, a lamp, a wastepaper basket and a flowerpot.
For the construction of each one of this elements, different transformation details are used.
To develop this idea a coupling system in low relief facilitates the transformation, changing the packing function of the paper cups into a daily object function.
The project look for get a high innovation level with a simple and basic production process because the transformation of the polyurethane cup doesn’t need a complex process and, with the use of a minimum amount of material we can provide the objects with structure and body ensuring their efficient operation.

persenally i would use them! multi purpose things are awesome! although i am not sure i would do with: 50 of them?
I dont think many people feel they have time to do so. especailly in America, they would just as easily throw them away, then go buy a lamp, or pencil holder :( this in very unfortunate. maybe in the future this will be something more people would be interested in.
awesome renderings BTW

Are you proposing the cups be paper or polyurethane? The description isn't quite clear.

Liked the concept and especially the detailing of the cup,
lid and the overall design with logo. Can be a new designer
soda can as well as an unique coffee cup for the Starbucks
customers to enjoy.
And a much smaller size than Starbucks regular size cups.
