Way back in February we mentioned briefly an interesting looking mug created by design duo Thabto.  It turns out that this was actually a concept and we received word that, now the mug (with a few modifications) is a reality and ready for purchase.  My initial query of whether or not it is comfortable to hold is still up in the air but, now at least, it is holdable.
