Jason, did you do any IP protection for your design? (design patent, utility patent, trademark, copyright, creative commons license, etc?) I know it's hard to do because it can get expensive especially when your company is young. I wouldn't worry about it though. You already have build up relationships with retailers and have had it on the market for long enough that there probably will not be confusion between the 2 works.

Could be used for a bigger range and variety in size, (old vases, bottles, glasses blabla)and products. Jasons idea isn't about that at all: all the same. It’s about re-using old products.

The product clearly hasn't been designed for disassembly. @ Jason: don't you worry. It shows your thinking is very contemporary, if not slightly ahead of its time. Designers should stop claiming originality. Authenticity is way more meaningful. It's a shame that designers don't share their references. eg the Homer chair This is an example of downcycling: you’re turning a highly recyclable product – ceramics – into a waste product.

However ceramic can be tossed into the environment and cause no harm, which is not the case for plastic. So in order to reuse a broken cup, you bring in toxic materials which probably won't have a very long life as a vase. I think this idea would be more useful if it was applied to objects made of other materials. It is a very nice idea.
