KU-12: Cántaro is a smart beverage container that supports the user's health goals at the chemical level. By compiling a database of drink ingredients, KU-12 is able to formulate beverage recipes based on optimal compatibility with the user, as well as how each ingredient reacts with one another to ensure peak beverage quality. Sensors on KU-12's main compartment monitor the degradation of phytochemicals and micronutrients of each ingredient to warn the user when the drink is close to expiring.

The combination of ceramic and metal is meant to create an alluring yet bold contrast of materials. KU-12 is characterized by its sculptural form, harmonizing two contradictory materials into one purpose. Thus, a new aesthetic is born. The metallic accents and technological capabilities of KU-12 breathe life into the old art form of ceramic sculpture, bringing new functionality to an old piece of art.
