Who makes it
Made by hand in Orange, California.
No licensed factory design with a logo stuck on it. A small shop where the same few people draw it, mold it, run the colors, and pack it — close enough to keep an eye on every part.
How it started
It began on the floor, with the problem you already have.
Every day, the same small scene — a toddler carries a cup off, sets it down mid-play, and wanders away. You stop noticing how often you're the one who finds it.
Then it goes over — again. Not a disaster: a dark ring in the carpet, a towel from the kitchen, a cup fished out from under something days later. And the thought finally lands — the cup just needs to stay upright when they set it down. So we set out to make that.
The early versions were wrong in useful ways. Too rigid and they tipped; too soft and they sank into the cushion. It took a long stack of tries to land on a base that spreads across the surface and settles instead of balancing.

Where it's made
Everything happens within about ten miles.
The molds, the material, the color runs — all of it inside about ten miles of the shop in Orange, California. Nothing crosses an ocean. When a color comes out wrong, we can drive over and look at it the same afternoon.
Made by hand, in small runs, by the people who actually use it.
