Woo Qiyun: “Keep Cup is designed for an Australian audience. So many of these reusable cups are not designed to be culturally sensitive or culturally specific, so I’ve always been worried. I’ve even emailed Keep Cup, saying, “Your cups do not fit the way that Singaporean or tropical countries drink bubble tea for example. It does not make sense for our context. Your silicone cups don’t always fit our uncle pouring the kopi because they are so unstable. There can be alternatives if we think about it from a Singaporean angle, or if someone here were to design it to suit our need, understanding certain nostalgic elements, because I can totally imagine the same experience but designed with a better material, while retaining the essence of it all.”
