The Story Mug

Book-aesthetic glass mug

Drink from the Tower of Stories — light, colour and imagination in every sip.

More than a mug: a living library of colour — a sculpture of thought. For readers, dreamers and anyone who finds magic in a shaft of sunlight.

Why design lovers can’t resist it

Created for the curious, the thoughtful and the seekers of light.
More than a mug — a poem in glass, layered with colour, crafted with love and alive with the quiet power of story and light.

Designer’s vision

“I imagined this piece as a sun-lit bookshelf — a moment of calm, knowledge and kaleidoscopic joy.”
— Clara Vienne, Designer & Glass Artisan

What makes it true glass art

Stacked-book aesthetic

- Seven vibrant ‘books’ in glass, built vertically

- Each layer approx. 8 mm thick, made with lost-wax casting for authentic spines and cover contours

- Gaps around 3 mm so light can play between layers — subtle, sparkling highlights

Chromatic symphony

- Flowing colour gradients from cobalt blue → emerald green → amber yellow → vermilion → indigo

- Transparent layers create gentle refraction and glow — a miniature prism effect

Handle with a soft gradient

- Curved, coloured glass, carefully heat-formed

- Seamless, continuous gradient for a fluid look

- Professionally fused joints for elegance and long-lasting strength
