Vario Cup Holder
9 grams of Polypropylene win the Red Dot Design Award 2009
 and get nominated for the German Designpreis 2010
(Project of GBO developed in collaboration with Mark Hetterich)

  The Vario cupholder improves the ergonomicsof drinking beverages out of polystyrene cups significantly by providing anergonomic handle to hold onto and therefore prevents spilling and burning dueto accidental squeezing or dropping of the cup. The design is characterised byflowing transitions of radii into arches and represents a surprising andinnovative form. Its fresh and flowing design make it a tactile product with afriendly touch and a welcome accessory for trips to the coffee machine, partiesor meetings. The fact that the 100% recyclable Vario has an open bottom makesit fit a flood of different cup sizes, makes nesting possible and reducesmaterial. Due to small wedges on the inside and a clamping effect whilstgrabbing the handle it stays fastened to the cup without dropping down.
