Meet Holm: A Mug for Everyone
Introducing our Accessible Stability Mug
At Capella Design, coffee culture is woven into the fabric of who we are. It’s how we start meetings, how we share ideas, and how we slow down and connect. For us, coffee (or tea, for those who are inclined) has always been more than just a drink—it’s a moment of connection, a pause in the day, and sometimes the thing that brings us together.
In the communities we serve, we noticed the same thing—these moments are a ritual. But we also saw how this experience changes for people as they face challenges like Parkinson’s, arthritis, or limited hand strength. Suddenly, something as simple as holding a mug becomes a struggle,
That’s why we created Holm: a mug for everyone.
What Exactly is a Stability Mug?
A stability mug is designed to provide comfort and support without compromising style. Holm’s large, easy-to-grip handle makes it perfect for those with arthritis or limited hand strength, while its wide base reduces the risk of spills. It’s a simple yet thoughtful solution for anyone who has struggled with holding or tipping over their mug.
Holm was made to ensure that everyone, no matter their physical challenges, can enjoy their favorite drink with confidence and ease.
An Ergonomic Handle: Designed for Comfort
While many people take it for granted, the key to a great mug is its handle. Holm’s ergonomic design, created in consultation with Occupational Therapists, ensures a comfortable, secure grip. Its large and easy-to-hold, making it ideal for anyone with arthritis, limited hand strength, or anyone who struggles to hold on to things. No more worrying about dropping your mug or spilling your drink—it’s designed to work naturally with your hand - like a glove that perks you up!
