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 recurs 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
Each piece of Voronoi is created 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.
