Float Strawless Bubble Tea cup

Float

Float is a reusable cup designed for drinking bubble tea without a straw. An inner cup holds the bubbles above the tea, so the bubbles and the tea reach the mouth together when the cup is raised. The tea is cooled by the ice above it before it is drunk, which avoids the warmer final sips that are common with straw cups. Float is made by plastic injection molding and silicone injection molding and measures 106 by 106 by 236 millimeters. The aim of the design is to reduce the use of disposable cups and straws.

Float Strawless Bubble Tea cup by Fang Shih has been selected as a creative representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Float Strawless Bubble Tea cup was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware Design in 2020. The A' Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware Design Award is a highly prestigious international design accolade that honors excellent design of pots, pans, cutlery, plates, bowls, glasses, baking dishes, graters and more.
