Designed by Luciano Menghini (b.1994), Traguito is a small ceramic cup intended for espresso and other measured drinks. Through a controlled manipulation of profile, the piece assumes two distinct silhouettes depending on the viewer’s elevation, allowing a single object to register as multiple forms across space. Familiar in scale yet subtly unstable in appearance, the cup moves beyond straightforward function to become a perceptual object-one that holds the intimacy of a drinking vessel while quietly asserting itself as sculpture.
