About this design
Route nationale française 115
Route nationale française 115 (France) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug
This design reproduces a French road marker plate reading N 115, the number of the Route nationale française 115 in France.
Visual Elements & Composition
Red dominates the artwork, filling most of the frame, with white reserved for the lettering. The plate is a rounded rectangle rendered in flat vector shapes, with no shading or texture to pull attention from the sign itself. The two text elements, a single capital N followed by the numerals 115, are set large and centred so they read at a glance.
Meaning & Symbolism
Numbered routes are how drivers find their way across the national network, and the N prefix marks the road as part of that national system rather than a local lane. The N 115 is one of those numbered arteries, carrying traffic through the French landscape. The design distils the system into its most recognisable form: the route marker a traveller first meets on the road. Its themes are French geography, travel and cartography, all condensed into a plate small enough to hold in one hand.
On the Ceramic Mug
A road sign is built to be read from a distance, but a mug asks for the opposite. It is lifted, turned in the hand and read at arm's length over a morning coffee. Turning the mug brings the N and 115 back into view, so the plate becomes a small moment of travel woven into a daily ritual. For coffee lovers who like their mornings with a map in mind, it is a cheeky companion to the first cup of the day.

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.
For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.
