About this design
L112-AT
L112-AT (Austria) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug
This design takes a single numeral and sets it inside a rounded outline, reducing an Austrian road-sign reference to its most essential form.
Visual Elements & Composition
The artwork is a flat vector graphic built from two colours, solid black and white. Black makes up the outline and the numeral, while white fills the open field around them, so the contrast is strong and immediate. The centrepiece is the number 112, set inside a stadium-shaped frame with rounded ends. Nothing else competes for attention. There are no borders, no background textures and no decorative flourishes, just the figure and its frame held in balance.
Meaning & Symbolism
The composition borrows the visual grammar of signage. Simple geometry, high contrast and a single legible figure are the tools of wayfinding and public information, where a symbol has to be understood at a glance. The numeral 112 is the one most people across Europe recognise as the common emergency number, which gives the design its quiet authority. The L112-AT label ties the piece to Austria, and the rounded frame reads as a sign shape rather than a decorative border. The result is a modern, informational graphic that treats a number as an emblem.
Designed for the Hand
A mug is held and turned, so this artwork reads as you lift it. The stadium frame sits as a clean, self-contained shape that stays legible from the handle side and the front alike, and the white field gives the numeral room to breathe as the cup moves. For anyone who wraps their hands around a morning coffee and appreciates a design that says exactly one thing, this is a gift with a clear, confident voice.

Glossy black ceramic mugs in two practical sizes — 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml). Comfortable C-handle, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and manufactured to be lead- and BPA-free. Note: printed blacks may read slightly different from the mug’s base color.
These mugs are made from solid ceramic with a glossy glaze that gives a deep, even surface for printing. Sublimation printing embeds ink into the glaze so artwork sits smoothly on the mug rather than simply sitting on top — that means better resistance to fading and scratching during normal use.
They’re available in the classic 11-ounce size for everyday black coffee and tea, and a larger 15-ounce cup if you like extra room for milk, foam or a long pour. The C-shaped handle is wide enough for a secure grip and balances the mug well when full.
- Material: 100% ceramic with a high-gloss finish for punchy, saturated results.
- Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) — choose your routine size.
- Printing: sublimation process fuses color into the glaze for durable imagery.
- Safety: lead- and BPA-free; meets common food-contact safety standards.
- Design note: very dark artwork and the mug’s black base can produce subtle shade differences — add a thin lighter outline to ensure contrast if needed.
These mugs are at home in the kitchen, on the office desk, or tucked into a morning routine. They work for espresso shots, pour-overs, oat-milk lattes — you name it. The larger size is handy when you want a second cup’s worth without a refill.
- Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
- Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
- Gifting: packs well (wrap with a soft layer) and pairs nicely with coffee beans, tea tins, or a small box of biscuits.
Practical tip: for very dark designs, try a thin light border or a small margin so the artwork reads cleanly against the black ceramic.
These mugs are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, but gentle habits extend the life of the print. We recommend dishwasher use on the top rack and milder cycles when possible.
Hand-washing is the friendliest option: warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or blasting with extremely hot industrial cycles. And a quick reminder — don’t microwave an empty mug.
Two sizes: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller cup is the familiar, everyday size; the larger one is for fuller pours and extra-creamy drinks.
Each mug’s mouth and height are proportioned so they’re easy to drink from and easy to clean. If you’re pairing with saucers or nesting in cabinets, expect the 15 oz to be slightly wider and taller than the 11 oz.
