Perhaps borrows a little from Pixar in an anthropomorphic sense but the tea cup and lamp appear as a very natural union of form and communication.
The approach to type, however, is a complete let down. Not sure why the image, linked to below, hasn’t been posted. By omitting it you don’t get a clear and complete picture.The article then appears selective, willing only to acknowledge the best bit.

Hi Richard, I am selective. I like to focus on what’s good. There’s more than enough negative chat elsewhere — something we commented on a couple of years back.
Sure understand, I do however think it’s important to contextualise the good alongside the bad when they’re part of the same project. That’s not to say you need to be negative or unfairly critical but believe it’s important, as a influential platform provider, that you offer people a fair and complete reflection of a project that allows them to make their own informed judgement. Would you not agree?
I’m a great believer in celebrating good design and try not to get bogged down in the not so good, or be overwhelmed with negative sentiment, but I do my best to make sure I post everything, even if it’s perhaps not as sharp as other details.
In fact, I’d suggest, that by showing the type work alongside the mark more clearly you may further emphasise how well resolved the symbol actually is.
The second image in the post is a photo of the type lockup. Sometimes I just want to share/collate designs I think are good.
But I agree with you. The symbol’s much stronger on its own.
For sure, it’s lovely bit of work and certainly worth sharing. The post is a good reminder that there’s also room for the appreciation of individual assets rather than always having to consider context.
Critique the work, not the critique.
Nicely put, Richard.
