Veltibolli

Originally designed with a rounded bottom, they could rock back and forth and still never spill - hence the name "velti," meaning "to roll," and "bolli," the Icelandic word for cup. While Inga Elín later refined the design with a flatter base for extra stability, the "Rolling Cups" have remained a customer favorite for over 35 years, showcasing over 200 different patterns.

Made to enhance your coffee experience, the design of Inga Elín's ‘’Veltibolli’’ cups are crafted to minimize heat loss, keeping your drink warm just a bit longer. These cups are uniquely designed to remain cool at the top, where you hold them, ensuring comfort while sipping.
