Vario Cup Holder, Haval

The Vario cup holder improves the ergonomics of drinking beverages
out of polystyrene cups significantly. Its ergonomic and snug handle
prevents spilling and burning. Vario is 100% recyclable. Its open bottom
makes it fit a flood of different cup sizes, nesting possible and reduces
material. Due to small wedges on the inside and a clamping effect
whilst grabbing the handle, Vario stays snuggly fastened to the cup.
Vario won the Red Dot Design Award and was nominated for the
German Design Prize
