The good chair is taken, and the guitar is not moving.

Here is a guitar travel mug for players whose instrument has its own spot in the living room: the Acoustic Armchair design stands an acoustic guitar upright on a tufted armchair. Take it along to lessons, rehearsals and the day job in between.

The design: one armchair, one guitar and nobody playing

The armchair comes first. It is high-backed and soft gray with a hint of lilac, its back button-tufted in neat rows, its arms rolled, with a seat cushion and short dark legs. A flat orange oval lies under it.

On the seat stands an orange acoustic guitar with a round sound hole, a dark fretboard and a dark bridge. It is upright and leans against the chair back, as if someone had put it down between two songs and gone to answer the door.

Below the chair runs a short line of red, rounded lettering, and under that a row of small red five-point stars with a larger one in the middle. The drawing is a flat, friendly cartoon in gray, orange and red, and it has no box or background around it, so the chair sits straight on the mug.

Built for the drive to the gig

• The body is stainless steel, a metal travel mug and not a cupboard mug
• Pick it up by the handle when your other hand is full of guitar case
• It tapers toward the bottom, a shape most car cup holders accept
• Either size arrives with its own plastic lid
• The chair and guitar appear on both sides, for left-handed and right-handed players alike

Who it's for

Acoustic guitar players, songwriters, guitar teachers and their students, and anyone with a chair at home that is mostly used for playing. It suits the morning drive, a lesson day or a long evening in the practice room. Gift ideas: the day someone gets a first guitar, a thank-you for a guitar teacher, Father's Day, or a housewarming for a friend setting up a music corner.

Quick answers

I'd rather sip than use a straw. Which one do I pick?

Take the smaller mug: no straw comes with it, and its lid is the press-in kind. The larger mug includes a straw and a screw-on lid.

How should I wash it?

By hand. The dishwasher is not an option for this mug.

Is it fine to shut the lid on a fresh hot drink?

No. A shut lid over a fresh drink traps the steam and the pressure builds. Check that it is open before you fit it.

Is a guitar brand shown in the art?

No. The guitar is a plain cartoon acoustic with no maker's name on it, so it suits players of any make.
