Shape, details and use

Discover Cruel Coral

Cruel Coral is a cup shaped like a coral or flower bell: a ribbed, tapering body opening into a flared rim of rounded, finger-like lobes, with a small round knob rising in the middle. Designer Creaserra turned the Pythagorean cup into something playful, with the siphon hidden inside the form.

It suits anyone who likes a joke with a science lesson behind it. Fill it gently and it behaves like any cup, but go past the hidden limit and it empties in one go. Leave it out as a conversation piece, or play the game: pass it round a circle, pour a little each turn, and whoever tips it over puts the coral on their head.

The vertical ribs and fine, even print layers give the shape a soft, almost plant-like look. In the photos it appears in red among green leaves in a terracotta pot. You choose the colour it is printed in.

The digital design dimensions are approximately 9.7 × 9.9 × 8.4 cm. These are not physical measurements. The first images are creator images; the colour and finish shown are examples. The final images show the model and print paths from our digital preparation.

The PLA part is suitable for indoors as decoration. Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The PLA part is not watertight or for food; keep it away from heat. Before dispatch we check finish and stability. The product price covers the complete product; order processing, packaging and delivery are shown separately in your basket.

Sculpture guide

What does Cruel Coral actually do, and how do you play with it?

You fill the coral like an ordinary cup, but a siphon hidden in the design drains it completely once the limit is passed. That makes it a demonstration of the Pythagorean cup and a party game in one.

Playing it in a circle

Sit in a circle with friends and take turns pouring a small amount of water into the coral, then pass it on. Whoever crosses the hidden threshold puts the coral over their head, as the designer intended.

Shape and look

The coral has a ribbed body, a wavy rim of rounded lobes and a knob in the centre. The print shows fine visible layers. You pick the colour yourself; the red in the photos is just an example.
