They said it was ugly. We know it is a masterpiece.
Welcome to the internet’s largest collection of mugs dedicated to the boldest movement in architectural history. Our Brutalist Architecture Mugs collection celebrates the concrete beauties that defined our postwar mid-century utopian skylines—from the stratified, geological cool of the National Theatre and the soaring towers of the Barbican Estate & Trellick, to icons like Preston Bus Station, Boston City Hall and Park Hill.
This collection is a tribute to the "New Brutalism" of the 1960s and 70s—an era of optimism, radical change, social housing, and uncompromising design. Whether you love the raw texture of béton brut (raw concrete), the geometric power of the Alexandra Road Estate, or the sci-fi silhouette of Centre Point or the AT&T Longlines Building, these designs capture the spirit of an era that refused to be traditional or boring.
Each mug features a graphic illustration of a brutalist icon, making them the ultimate gift for architects, design students, and anyone who appreciates the "ugly-beautiful" aesthetic of this intense style.
