Espresso Cup

Designer Sander Luske was inspired by the rich lace of Rembrandt's Marten & Oopjen. The pattern of this beautiful lace can be found on this espresso cup made of porcelain. What makes this cup special is that it is handmade by people distanced from the labour market within the Design X Craft project.
