Nicholas Baker, the designer, applied the traditional ceramic method of slab construction, where clay is rolled flat, cut into sections, and assembled much like constructing a gingerbread house. He chose to highlight this process in the mug's design by shaping a single clay sheet into a cup, with one end elegantly curling outward to form the handle. Through virtual reality exploration, the idea developed into a softer, spiral shape that evokes warmth and comfort, inspiring the fitting name: Hug Mug.

About the Brand
Jex
Designer Nicholas Baker’s brand, formerly Almost Objects, has transitioned to the new identity Jex. By condensing and abstracting “objects” into “jex,” the brand establishes a fresh platform for development. While retaining elements of its original experimental and “almost” philosophy, this rebranding strategically positions Jex for significant growth, with ambitions to evolve into a major furniture brand.
