Hot cup light

4/10 Extra Ordinary project | Lamp

With hot drinks, there is always a similar experience: maybe because you are in such a hurry, you unconsciously think that the hot drink is no longer hot. But the truth is that it is still very hot. If you suddenly get scalded, you have to blow on it with your mouth. After a while, people can’t resist trying it again, only to find that it hasn’t cooled down at all. People had to blow on it again. It took several repetitions before the drink finally cooled down. This is a kind of miscommunication between the cup and the person. The cup is unable to communicate with the person about the temperature of the drink and the person is kept in a constant state of fear and information isolation. If there was a cup that would safely train people’s patience and tell them not to rush, what would it look like? When you lift it up, the cup is lit. And if you want to extinguish the light, you have to blow into the inside of the cup. Every time you pick it up, the cup lights up and reminds you that you have to blow on it to put out the light.
