Mystery espresso cup set

The editors over at ElleDeco Japan got the royal treatment when they were allowed a sneak peak at some of Moma Design Store’s Autumn releases. One product in particular caught my eye immediately and that was this clever set of espresso cups with interlocking bamboo coasters. Unfortunately I couldn’t figure out who designed it. Any idea? Anyone?

The 1 clue I have is that it won an award in a student design contest.

UPDATE: thanks to commenter Cl. we found out that it was designed by Fellina Sok-Cham. Yay!

Wow, that’s a lovely piece of design. I very much like not just the shapes and the fitting-togetherness but also the play of materials. Metal + ceramic + wood = delicious.

Yes! Me too!
I guess I will just have to wait until it hits stores to find out who designed it.
