Comforting and tactile, the Seletti Newlithic mug turns a simple cup of coffee into a moment worth noticing. Designed by Francesco Decio for Seletti, this designer porcelain mug belongs to cups & co and reads as both dependable daily ware and a collectible object: handmade, personal and ready to live with.

Unique finishes, human-made variation

Each mug is finished with a hand-applied dipping technique so no two pieces are identical: pooled glazes, gentle drips and soft gradients make every object slightly different. This artisanal process is central to the Newlithic language: small irregularities become visual warmth, and the result is a handmade Seletti mug that photographs beautifully and rewards close inspection. Integrated with designs from Alessandro Zambelli x Seletti, each piece carries a playful sophistication, while references to Antonio Aricò x Seletti bring complementary narrative and artistry to the tabletop. Isn’t there a quiet pleasure in starting the day with something that carries the maker’s mark?

Porcelain that performs

Fired in quality porcelain, the mug balances delicate tactile appeal with robust serviceability. Despite the artisanal finish, it is both dishwasher and microwave safe, designed for real life rather than shelf display alone. The rim profile and balanced handle are tuned for comfortable sipping; an object that behaves as well as it looks, whether you prefer long black coffee, milky cappuccinos or a late-afternoon tea. Its playful design pairs beautifully with pieces from the Hybrid collection and complements the refined artistry of the Kintsugi collection, creating a tabletop full of character and narrative.

Scale, shape and everyday usefulness

Thoughtful in proportion, the Newlithic mug holds a satisfying measure without being bulky; it nests easily with saucers or stacks tidily when space is at a premium. The silhouette is familiar but modern, so it integrates seamlessly with other Seletti sculptural tableware or becomes a solitary, photogenic accent on a work desk or bedside table. Practical details; comfortable handle, stable base, mean the piece is built to be used day after day.

Built to be lived with

The Seletti Newlithic mug is a small design intervention that gently elevates routine: artisanal, durable and decidedly modern. It’s a designer porcelain mug that invites you to slow down, hold something warm and enjoy a brief, private ritual: an everyday object that quietly makes the day better. It pairs beautifully with pieces from the Seletti Love In Bloom collection, bringing cohesion and playful elegance to a curated tabletop.
