That\u2019s the beautifully simple yet radical idea behind The Gourd Project, an ongoing exploration by Brooklyn-based CR\u00c8ME Architecture and Design that\u2019s turning heads in the sustainable design world.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the problem they\u2019re tackling. Back in 2006, Starbucks alone used 2.6 billion cups at their stores. Each paper cup produces 0.24 pounds of CO2 emissions during manufacturing, and here\u2019s the kicker: only 0.25% actually get recycled after disposal. We\u2019ve been stuck in this wasteful cycle for decades, bouncing between plastic, paper, and ceramic options that all come with their own environmental baggage. CR\u00c8ME decided to ask a different question entirely: what if nature didn\u2019t just provide the material, but also handled the manufacturing process?<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cremedesign.com\/project\/gourds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CR\u00c8ME Architecture and Design<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-595632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/07\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Studio Grows Coffee Cups From Gourds\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-595632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/07\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Studio Grows Coffee Cups From Gourds\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"774b875e87861e48477c1be3-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"774b875e87861e48477c1be3-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Enter the humble gourd. These fast-growing plants have been cultivated by humans for thousands of years, prized for their robust fruits that develop strong outer skins and fibrous inner flesh. Once dried, gourds become naturally watertight, which is why our ancestors used them as cups and containers long before Tupperware was a thing. CR\u00c8ME, led by designer Jun Aizaki, looked at this ancient practice and thought: we can do something with this.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-595633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/07\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Studio Grows Coffee Cups From Gourds\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-595633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/07\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Studio Grows Coffee Cups From Gourds\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-04.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s where it gets really cool. The studio isn\u2019t just hollowing out gourds and calling it a day. They\u2019re using 3D-printed molds to actually shape the gourds as they grow, training them into specific forms like cups and flasks. Think of it as botanical architecture. You place the mold around the young fruit, and nature does the rest, filling the shape while it grows on the vine. The result? Vessels that are 100% biodegradable, manufactured using only sun and water, and look genuinely striking sitting on your shelf.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-595634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/07\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Studio Grows Coffee Cups From Gourds\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-595634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/07\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Studio Grows Coffee Cups From Gourds\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"774b875e87861e48477c1be3-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"774b875e87861e48477c1be3-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The project started small, with a few gourds grown in a backyard. But CR\u00c8ME has since scaled up production to a farm, with plans to eventually move operations indoors to better control for variables like pests and weather conditions. The entire production cycle currently takes about six weeks, and while the team is working to streamline that timeline, it\u2019s still remarkably efficient compared to traditional manufacturing processes that involve mining, refining, molding, and shipping materials around the globe.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-595635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/07\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Studio Grows Coffee Cups From Gourds\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-595635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/07\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Studio Grows Coffee Cups From Gourds\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-07.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Each gourd vessel can be reused between three to six times before it starts to break down.

The Gourd Project earned a finalist mention at the NYCxDesign awards and has been featured in major publications like Dezeen, Fast Company, and NowThis <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>. It\u2019s easy to see why. In an era where greenwashing is rampant and \u201csustainable\u201d often just means \u201cslightly less terrible,\u201d here\u2019s a project that actually reimagines the entire system from the ground up, literally.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-595637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/07\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Studio Grows Coffee Cups From Gourds\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-595637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/07\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Studio Grows Coffee Cups From Gourds\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-studio-grows-coffee-cups-from-gourds\/gourd-05.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>What makes this particularly exciting is how it challenges our assumptions about design and manufacturing. We\u2019re so conditioned to think of products as things we make, things we control from start to finish in factories. The Gourd Project flips that script. It asks us to collaborate with nature, to work with biological processes instead of against them. The designers provide the framework, the blueprint. The plant does the actual building.<\/p>\n<p>Will we all be sipping our lattes from gourds next year? Probably not. CR\u00c8ME is still refining the process and working toward a consumer launch. But that\u2019s almost beside the point. The Gourd Project proves that radical sustainability doesn\u2019t have to mean sacrifice or hairshirt aesthetics. These vessels are genuinely beautiful, with organic variations that make each one unique. They represent a fundamentally different way of thinking about the objects we use every day.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-595638\"
