The Swiss company Nestlé asked Jörg Boner to create a thermos for their ‘Nescafé’ concept. In order to play with the culture of coffee Boner suggested a combination of a coffeepot and two cups: “A cup of coffee you drink together, you take the time for each other and swap ideas…this was one focus of the project”, Boner explains.
“The elastic band that fixes the cups into place can be transformed into a handle in just one move, turning the termos bottle into a coffee pot. The way in which it plays with both archetypes is characteristic of the product.”
