so I just used this image in a presentation in my ART 102 class during a discussion on Cubism. This cup, called "The Anthora" (a play on the word for the Ancient Greek vessel form 'Amphora'), has been the iconic to go coffee cup that exists in every coffee shop in New York- prior to the Starbucks trend. The designer, Leslie Buck, has passed away. How wonderful is it to have such a cool legacy though? It is exciting as a maker of things to think that an idea that you came up with and developed became an icon for a place and time. Cheers to you Mr. Buck!
