Kylix From Gabriel Parker: Cup On A Saucer With A Cutout Hole

“Parker” is not only a prestigious pen, which is always in the pocket of a confident, stylish man. It is also the name of the young designer, Gabriel Parker, who became the author of an unusual, but according to his ideas, very convenient cup called Kylix. More precisely, it’s not just a cup, but cup with saucer, a kind of twin structure.

Unlike the legendary “cup on a silver platter, a cup of Kylix is built into a saucer with a hole cut on one side. And strongly elevated board of the other side. In the center of the saucer is the same groove, where you want to insert the cup, so that it will not overturn.

The author says that he invented such a construction, when he overturned tea a couple of times, carrying in one hand and a plate laden with goodies and a cup of drink. And the high edge to protect the liver or candy from falling out “over the side, recess for the cup will keep the cup itself, and the hole in the saucer – Kylix to put on my finger and so go during the buffet, say, well, or move out from the kitchen in to the room.

By the way, Kylix design is called “3-in-1”, because in addition to the saucer and cup this concept can be used as a stand for the egg (remember the hole in the saucer), and as a container for sauces, honey or jam.
