Abstract

One of the problems with the current design of disposable coffee cup holders is the focus in product design on aspects related to financial efficiency and mass production. In this paper, a possible solution to this problem is analysed by redesigning with the help of sensory design elements and improving the design process through the use of quality tools. The proposed solution is a cup holder with an innovative shape and high-quality material, offering a user interface with a pleasant texture and colour that aligns with their needs.
