My Cup of Thoughts, 2012

My Cup of Thoughts is a cup and saucer depicting thought-provoking statements in various combinations. Drinking coffee often serves as a moment for reflection or conversation. By rotating the cup on the saucer, users can reveal different word combinations that provide “food for thought.” This piece truly sparks conversation. As designer Annelys de Vet notes, it ‘playfully questions our changing perceptions of subjects like freedom and truth, inviting the consumer to form their conclusions’.

My Cup of Thoughts and the saucer are parts of the permanent collection of the Centraal Museum Utrecht and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
