These Starbucks mugs from Japanese design firm nendo might give you a jolt.
The company has applied its expertise to the lowly coffee mug, and the result is a representation of nendo's "glass half full" philosophy. That is, if you flip one of these empty mugs over, it will still look like it's filled with a caramel macchiato, latte or Americano. The mugs are sold in Starbucks retail stores in Japan, but there's no word whether the design is heading elsewhere.
