The thickness also seems different, more flat on the PIU collection... heck, why am I writing so much on this, whaddo I know...? : ) hmm, thanks Xit – ok, similar yes but only in the handle, and as the handle’s angle is slightly different I wouldn’t ever have spotted it had it not been pointed out to me.

We do not know yet if this has the power to become a classic. Regarding Stelton, they are by no means perfect. Don´t remind me of the poor plastic material that is eternally coloured by coffee after using them once. @Ambroise If you mean the "Posa" cup from the mentioned website, i´d say it´s rather paranoid to say this is exactly the same design - there´s not even a hint of the cone shape there which defines the "Piu" tableware above. I remember an older series by Authentics that was a bit similar, though, also with some reminiscences to Wagenfeld.

Yes the handle is very similar but IMO doesn't create the thread for the collection as with PIU, which uses the same handle for all articles. ^I think Ambroise’s beef lies in the kitchenware section of the site under the Richell project (image2).

The stelton classic opens the lid for you when you pour, have less parts and makes replacement of the glass a laugh by just squeezing the top of the container. That is Classical!
