Things We Like: PMO Design’s Sweater Mugs
Katherine Sharpe
While browsing the aisles of the New York Gift Fair a few weeks back, Andrew, Amy and I stumbled upon the small stall belonging to PMO Design, the small Montreal-based company of Kwok Wai Lau. Lau makes ceramic and wooden goods that manage to look elegant and whimsical at the same time. We were especially taken with his asymmetrical mugs—topsy-turvy when set on a table, they're meant to balance naturally when held in the hand, and his handle-less mugs with knitted sweater cozies. I don't know if it's the long Canadian winters that inspired such a brilliant mash-up of two elements of cold-weather comfort into one, but I definitely like it.
There are a few items available in an online shop, but I'd imagine that email inquiries might be welcome as well.
