The City Rain Kitchenware Holds Drinks and Keeps Them from Spilling
Jordy E — February 25, 2013 — Art & Design
The City Rain kitchenware pieces come clad in a layer of cement. The cups are made to deliberately soak up liquids, doing away with the need for coasters.
This protective coat of cement has yet to be seen in the at home design niche. The City Rain brand has furthered the unique aspects of this product with its considerable size as the piece can hold up to eight ounces. Best of all is the way in which it merges industrial interior design with decor. While many spaces have been given a contemporary update with layers of concrete, producers of decor have yet to fully embrace the concept, an unusual choice given its popularity among architects.
