Take a sip of espresso and imagine ocean water rushing over sand—that’s exactly the kind of image these little cups evoke. Part of blomus’ Sablo collection, they pair raw, speckled stoneware clay with a smooth, glossy surface (just like sand and water, no?). The designer behind it all is the one and only Frederike Martens. They’re microwave and dishwasher safe, just in case you want to reach for ‘em daily like we do.

This cup taking inspiration from the natural materials of sand, clay, and water. The shapes are soft and inviting with pleasantly rounded edges and a slightly rough surface in some areas and glazed in others. Stoneware is defined as a group of ceramic products and is used to produce plates, dishes, cachepots, and bowls, molded at very high temperatures using special casting techniques.
