Multifunctional magnetic cups
From espresso cup to small sculpture. In a single gesture.
Voronoi is not simply a set of cups.
It is a modular magnetic object that transforms daily rituals into a moment of play, balance and discovery.
Each piece hides four magnets within its geometric shape, allowing the elements to connect in ever-changing combinations. Stack them, place them side by side, explore verticality, and seek balance: what begins as a small cup can become a sculptural composition, a desk organizer, or a container for small objects.
An object designed to be explored every day.
Inspired by balance, nature and geometry
Voronoi was born from the encounter between two suggestions: the ancient Asian practice of stone balancing, made of patience, precision and balance, and the Voronoi diagram, a geometric structure that occurs spontaneously in nature, in cells, crystals and many organic surfaces.
The project's name itself declares this inspiration, while its shape visually translates its principle: a multifaceted geometry, both clear and irregular, capable of evoking both rational construction and natural growth.
Each configuration thus becomes a daily exercise in balance and a continuously transforming composition.
One object, many functions
Designed to move naturally between spaces and times of day, Voronoi adapts to different uses at different times of the day.
Morning — espresso cups
Desk — organizer for small items
Table — container for snacks or spices
Evening — candle holder or decorative sculpture
Its hollow interior and magnetic connections allow the object to continuously transform.
Made in Bologna
Every piece of Voronoi is born in Bologna, combining digital technologies and craftsmanship.
Production begins with a Precise and sustainable 3D printing in bio-based PLA, derived from renewable plant sources. During the printing process, the magnets are inserted manually one by one. Each element is then hand-sanded and finished with a food resin which guarantees safety and durability.
