A horizontal plate with rounded corners sits at the centre, and the black lettering reads L6001 across it with plenty of open space around the characters. Nothing else competes for attention. The layout is symmetrical and quiet, so the numerals carry the whole composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIreland's route markers work like a address for the country's roads. The letter L identifies a regional road, and the number that follows places it within the network, so the plate tells a driver exactly which route they are on. Turning that everyday sign into an artwork gives it a second life as a small emblem of Irish travel, rural lanes and the long drive between towns. The design is modern in style and utilitarian in spirit, drawing its meaning from function rather than ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOn the Black Mug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand as it is drunk from, so the plate moves around the curve of the vessel and appears in pieces as you rotate it. Each glance reveals another part of the rounded rectangle and another stretch of the numerals. It is a sign that makes most sense when it is read slowly, one turn at a time, which suits a cup that is meant to be held for a while.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53245092430104,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RLL-11OZ-78","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53245092462872,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RLL-15OZ-36","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/irl-l6001-ireland-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-RLL-11OZ-78-front.webp?v=1794306808","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/irl-l6001-ireland-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
