Bring back the Avrundad glass cup at IKEA
The Issue
Mikael Axelsson has already designed the perfect cup, it is the platonic ideal of drinkware. I am of course talking about the "Avrundad", Ikea ID #903.589.81. I want to bring this cup back into the world.
I don't need to tell you how flawless it is, but I will.
It is perfect for every type of drink:
HOT: insulated glass is the way; cold tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice
COLD: I won't add ice to my beer, I don't want to put mugs in the freezer to use them.
WINE: I understand the pretentious ideals of your average sommelier, but the rationale for stemware stems (pun intended) from the body's heat transferring through the vessel to the liquid.
But not yours, Mikael. I would proudly sip Syrah from your cup.
I can pour from the glass without dripping everywhere, the tapered mouth hits all the correct angles.
Further, in a mid-morning stupor the flared top prevents my coffee from slipping out from my grasp and onto the floor. It completely avoids the complication of integrating a handle, a truly resolved modern design unleashed onto the world.
I humbly ask: why has this genius invention been discontinued? I cannot find this cup anywhere online, and have been searching ikea.com, ebay, amazon, and craigslist for the last seven years. What fool made this error? I am seeking a correction of this wrong, and if necessary retribution against the offenders responsible for such a pigheaded blunder.
Please sign this petition to bring back the best cup ever designed.
