KUMI Coffee Mug, Wabi-Sabi Stoneware, by blomus

KUMI Coffee Mug, Wabi-Sabi Stoneware, by blomus — A 9.8 oz stoneware mug with a handle and a reactive glaze, sold singly in Espresso or Fungi.

Part of KUMI, the Japanese-inspired, reactive-glazed stoneware collection from the German design house blomus.

The Design Story

For those who want a handle, KUMI adds one to its tapered cup without losing the character of the glaze. KUMI is a studio blomus design, created by the brand’s own team in Sundern.

KUMI is blomus looking east. The forms are Japanese in origin and the surface comes from reactive glazing, a process that never repeats itself: the glaze reacts to oxygen in the kiln and settles into its own pattern of flecks and shading on every piece. According to blomus, the name is a Japanese word for eternal beauty. Two natural colors, dark-brown Espresso and mushroom-toned Fungi, are made to sit side by side.

Why You’ll Love It

It is a mug with personality: you will recognize yours by its speckles. The size suits a long coffee. The handle is easy to hold, and the glaze looks better with time.

Made for Real Life

Dishwasher and microwave safe, according to blomus. Dots, flecks and uneven tones come from the reactive glaze and differ on every piece; blomus notes that KUMI gains character with use over time. Pairs well with the teapot, tea cup, plates.

Questions We Hear Most

What is the difference between the two KUMI mugs?

This coffee mug has a handle and holds 9.8 fl oz; the handleless tea cup holds 6 fl oz.

Will two KUMI coffee mugs look the same?

They will match in shape and color family, with different flecks and shading on each.

Is the KUMI coffee mug a good gift?

Yes, on its own or as a pair with the KUMI teapot.

Why can the KUMI coffee mug show specks or uneven color?

That is the reactive glaze at work. It reacts to oxygen in the kiln, so each piece comes out with its own markings.

What style of home suits the KUMI coffee mug?

Japandi, wabi-sabi, rustic modern and minimalist interiors, and any table built around natural, earthy tones.

When will my KUMI coffee mug leave the warehouse?

In-stock orders usually leave within 2–3 business days.

Why We Love It

No two pieces match exactly, and that is the point: KUMI brings wabi-sabi calm to an everyday table. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
