Nendo for Starbucks

For Starbucks Japan, Nendo revamped the classic white coffee mug, adding a graphic to the base that looks like the surface of 3 coffee drinks: americano, latte and caramel macchiato.

Nendo took Starbucks’ classic white coffee mug and added a graphic to the base that looks like the surface of a coffee drink, so that when the mug is drying or being stored upside down, it looks as though it’s actually full.

The mug comes in three varieties – Americano, latte and caramel macchiato – and will be released in Starbucks throughout Japan.

The design plays with Starbucks’ view of seeing the world as half-full, never half-empty.
