8244 Studio
is a London-based design studio that brings ideas born from moments of daily unease to life.
We observe subtle discomforts in everyday routines and translate them into thoughtful, tactile objects that restore balance between the mind and the material world.
Each piece is guided by intuition and simplicity, focusing on interaction rather than complexity.
Rooted in Korean sensibility and shaped by contemporary living, 8244 Studio reimagines the ordinary into calm, enduring forms that invite reflection through use.
Frequently asked questions
What is 82_a?
82_a is a reusable stainless steel cup cover designed to fit a wide range of cup sizes while helping protect drinks from dust, pet hair, insects and other unwanted particles.
Why does 82_a fit different cups?
Rather than relying on a single fixed diameter, 82_a uses a curved underside that extends approximately 10 mm into the cup. This geometry allows it to rest securely across a range of cup openings.
Why stainless steel?
Stainless steel provides a durable, non-porous and easy-to-clean surface suitable for repeated everyday use. It also gives 82_a the rigidity required for its adaptable geometry.
Is 82_a only for coffee?
No. 82_a is designed as a cup cover rather than a coffee accessory. It can be used with water, tea, coffee, wine and other drinks, depending on the cup being used.
What can the top surface be used for?
The recessed surface can temporarily hold small items such as snacks, tea bags or personal objects while the cover is in use.
