This cup is dedicated to Michael Ballack who’s wearing no.13 in the German national football team as well as for FC Chelsea. One of the world’s best football players.

Unfortunately he is stuck in his belief that wearing the no. 13 shirt means fortune. After being only German vice football champion with Bayer Leverkusen, vice champions league champion with Chelsea and vice European champion with the German team, it’s probably time to try a different number. Michael, choose your cup!

*This CUP is part of the exhibition “100 CUPS”.

There are times when not a single idea flows through your brains – let’s say at around 5 p.m. on a Friday afternoon. If you are a cup designer, that’s the time when at latest the idea of the joker comes to your mind.
