The first thing I came across this morning, before I'd even take the first sip of my latte, was an obituary posted on facebook by the NY Times. Leslie Buck, designer of the iconic Anthora coffee cup had passed away. What I enjoyed about the post was that Buck himself was not a trained designer, but was a salesman at the time and had moved up the ranks of his paper cup company to executive by the time he retired. His grecian cup became a pop culture icon that could have easily been lost in the shuffle since it's introduction in the '60s. Thank you NYC, for giving Mr. Buck the credit he deserves.
