LATTEA Design Contest – Coffee Cup Gets Personal
A lot can happen over a cup of coffee. Being a design addict I still treasure this disposable coffee cup I was served in once. It’s got this interesting Victorian painting depicted on it and it looks simply awesome. Would you believe me, if I told you that it was bought off a vendor at the airport? That’s the power of great design! If you have the flair for design, then you MUST take part in the LATTEA Design Contest. It’s where you get to design an exclusive LATTEA Glass and WIN 2000 €!
Details for the contest:
By taking part in the contest you can create designs of LATTEA glasses. Either you submit freely created Lattea glass designs or you use a configuration tool in order to design glasses.
But not only do the best designers win great prizes! The Most-Active-Member as well as the Best-Supporter is rewarded with a LATTEA fully-automated coffee machine!

Love it or Hate it? You tell us!
While some of you design-savvy critics are vocal about your opinions on design, others use their subtle charms to let us know how the DESIGN SUCKS! A lot of products that are currently being sold on the YD Store were once mere concepts and we’d like to know if they were really worth the efforts? Did these products deserve to make it into the physical world or would it have been better left on the drawing board? We want to hear what you think!
Tell us if you love the product, hate the product or are undecided until you have more information. Submit your opinions and we’ll thank you with a 5% coupon off the Yanko Design Store!
