Minimalist Metal Cups

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Makr Tumbler Collection is Modernly Medieval

— June 28, 2014 — Art & Design
While most people are used to drinking out of porcelain, glass or even plastic cups, the Makr Tumbler collection provides another alternative that will have them feeling as though they are living in another era. Although it boasts an overall minimalist and modern aesthetic, the Makr Tumblers are made out of either copper or aluminum, which is much more medieval than other materials. At least, that is the initial impression.

Available in three styles (short, tall and tapered) as well as colors (copper, white and grey), the Makr Tumbler collection is made entirely in the United States. The designs are so good-looking, people might find alternative uses for the vessels other than drinking out of them. The Makr Tumbler can also double as stationary storage to be displayed proudly on desks.
