heat sensitive coffee mug, it could be much better


"At plain sight it is a standard black mug as they come a dime a dozen and in big white letters it say OFF. Nothing fancy, but once you add the hot beverage of your choice, the mug changes color and is turning white and in big black letters it states: ON" via betterlivingthroughdesign

more and more we will be seeing the application of smart materials in everyday objects, it is our responsibility though to design in such a way as not to make novelty or ''gadgety'' items but products that serve the task for which they have been designed.

lets see if we can do better, send me your solutions on how you would incorporate heat sensitive pigments on a coffee mug, I will post the most innovative ideas and try to produce the best on through begdesign
