Used corrugated cardboard never looked so good. These Ceramic Cardboard Coffee Mugs are made by ceramic artist, Tim Kowalczyk.
The mugs are only part of Kowalczyk’s works, which use oft-discarded and used materials as inspiration. The mugs are totally usable, while each piece is unique — using different textures, stickers and packing tape.
Check them out at Tim’s Etsy shop here.
There are few things more American than sitting on the couch and drinking a beer while watching television. But those pesky round beer mugs obstruct our vision.
The TV Beer Mug is here to help. The one-pint beer mug features a sloped edge that, when held to your face, opens up your field of vision. So, beer-drinkers will no longer have to wait for commercials, or miss any important parts of their show because there was a stupid round mug in their face.

Are you a zombie in the morning? Then here’s the perfect set of mugs to help start your day. Turkey Merck Pottery, created by ceramicist Kevin “Turkey” Merck, is a beautiful series of drinking vessels, made to look like realistic zombie heads.
The ceramic mugs are designed and handmade by Merck, and released in very limited quantities at a time. Although, this type of awesomeness will cost a bit more than your average coffee mug — starting at around $200 USD each.

If you’re looking for a critical hit of caffeine in the morning, you should be drinking from the D20 Mug.
Designed to look like a 20-sided dice, the ceramic mug will effectively and geekily hold your favorite hot beverage.
The mug is microwave and dishwasher-safe, but please refrain from rolling it across the breakfast table. At least finish your coffee first. Available here.

Inspired by the elegant minimalism of Imperial Stormtroopers, Swedish artist Eszter Imre created a series of coffee cups.
Cups For The Empire is a set of porcelain coffee mugs and espresso cups with a Stormtrooper’s helmet in mind. The horizontal black stripe and the cups’ curves mimics those found on the trooper’s head.
The best part, is that at the bottom of each piece of drinkware, is an Imperial logo. Imperialism… good to the last drop.
