Inspired by the traditional Korean Soban table, a once essential fixture in households of all classes, Mimidar presents a modern reinterpretation of its design – Soban Cups. In traditional Korean homes, the Soban served as both a surface for serving meals and as an informal dining table. However, with contemporary dining habits shifting towards tables and chairs, the Soban has faded from everyday use. In an effort to preserve this cultural legacy, Mimidar has transformed its design into functional cups, ensuring that the history and heritage of the Soban endure into the future.
The Soban Cups feature a modern design with subtle traditional elements. The coasters mimic the Soban's elegant tops, while the cup handles pay homage to its distinctive legs. Even when not in use, these cups serve as remarkable interior pieces, seamlessly blending tradition with modern aesthetics.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Soban Cups boast a matte finish glaze with delicate dots, offering a unique and luxurious tactile experience. Designed to be a cozy addition to your kitchen cabinet, these cups are not just statement pieces but also functional and versatile.
Each Soban Cup comes with a high-quality walnut wood coaster. Finished with natural oils, the coaster doubles as a teabag holder or a stylish tray for snacks. Mimidar's commitment to quality is evident in the more than 8 months spent refining the Soban Cup's design, ensuring a perfect blend of beauty and comfort.
Manufactured entirely by hand in a Korean pottery factory with over two generations and 37 years of experience, the Soban Cup reflects Mimidar's dedication to craftsmanship and preserving the cultural significance of the Soban table.
