The Accordion Paper Cup, designed by Shenzhen Samore Design&Research Product Planning, features a stack of portable, eco-friendly coffee cups with lids and a vibrant, accordion-like holder. This innovative product stands out not only for its sustainability but also for its unique design. The holder, which can stretch and collapse, adds a zesty life to the classic brown paper cups, making them both functional and visually appealing. The materials used are recyclable, renewable, and biodegradable, although specific details are not disclosed. The cups also include heat and cold insulation, which helps retain the temperature of the drinks for a longer period and might also serve as a handle. Despite being awarded the iF Design Award 2024 in Professional Concepts and Packaging Concepts, there is no confirmed date for when or if these cups will hit the market, as the development process remains confidential.
