CreativeMornings January Celebrates a New Coffee Cup

[Sam Aquillano]

January’s Boston CreativeMornings event is Friday, January 27th at 8:30 AM. 

Tickets will be available Monday, January 23rd, starting at 7:00 AM.

Our January presenters are Daren Bascome and Peter Herman

These two gentlemen know a lot about a great cup of coffee (and origami). Peter Herman and Daren Bascome are creators of the Compleat cup, an ingenious disposable coffee cup that doesn't need a plastic lid. They’ll share with us insights about product design, how an architect’s idea was brought to life by a designer, and their mission to entice folks to ditch sippy cups (and that extra plastic) and instead “fill, fold and drink.”

Peter Herman, AIA, is an architect by trade for the last 25 years, with a longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship and the responsible use of materials. He currently works at Ellenzweig, an architectural firm based in Cambridge.

Daren Bascome is founder ofProverb, an award-winning global brand-building agency in Boston, and has been named as “one of the most sought-after designers in Boston” by the Boston Globe. A former director of the Massachusetts College of Art Foundation Board, he is currently the overseer of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
