We make excuses to see each other
Every moment counts
The best stories often start without warning.
A spontaneous game, a ridiculous costume, laughter that gets out of hand. We just create the pretext for it to happen.
Products made to last
We design products that bring people together, last, and make them smile.
Objects designed for all moments of life. Original, well-made, designed to last and be brought out for every occasion.
+120,000 evenings saved
And at least as many intrigued neighbors.
A community just about everywhere
From Lille to Nice, we invite ourselves into gardens, terraces, and living rooms.
Unique products
A wide selection of games, costumes, sports accessories, outdoor activities, unique products.
Designed to connect people
Because the best moments are shared.
Our Favorite Playgrounds
We love anything that turns an ordinary moment into an unforgettable memory.
🎓 Spoiler alert: it wasn't just an Erasmus memory
He could have brought back a hoodie from campus. Martin brought back an idea.
During his university exchange in San Diego, Martin discovered American parties and their iconic red and blue cups.
They don't exist in Europe, and he returned with a simple conviction: this cult product belongs here.
Back in Paris, Martin met Paul at business school and convinced him to join the adventure.
They instantly clicked and quickly became inseparable.
A slightly crazy idea. Two complementary profiles. A lot of energy.
The adventure begins!
📦 Startup in a shared apartment
Still students and in a flatshare, they started designing.
They worked side jobs to finance the first molds.
The living room became an office. Boxes replaced the decor.
For almost a year, they searched for the perfect American cup.
Prototypes, adjustments, discussions with the factory, mold modifications.
A seemingly simple product. Much more complex to create.
Their friends thought they were crazy.
Maybe.
🚀 Liftoff
The first containers arrive. The first offices too.
Original Cup becomes concrete.
The priority is clear: to get known.
Facebook, Beer Pong tournaments, viral videos, presence with student unions and schools throughout France.
The community is growing fast. Original Cup is becoming a reference in the world of student parties.
The first listings arrive in specialized stores and supermarkets.
🎭 Diversification
Partying remains at the heart of the brand, but the playing field is expanding.
Original Cup is no longer limited to cups and is developing games, costumes and party accessories.
The universe is expanding, the tone is asserting itself.
OC no longer just sells a product.
It creates moments to share.
👨👩👧👦 Growing Up with Your Community
Children arrive.
And with them, a new way of seeing things ❤️
We grow.
We evolve.
The brand does too.
After expanding its playing field, Original Cup is expanding its vision.
More family-oriented.
More intergenerational.
Still festive, but more rooted in everyday life.
Outdoor games, sports, hobbies 🏃♂️
The brand now accompanies weekends, birthdays, holidays.
At the same time, expansion is accelerating in Europe with over 3000 resellers.
Original Cup definitely goes beyond student parties.
It becomes a brand for moments, at all ages.
🔄 The transformation
2025 marks the beginning of a new chapter.
Over the years, the project has evolved.
It has grown with its founders, with its customers, with generations.
The name "Original Cup" told the beginning of the story.
It no longer told the whole story.
So, we needed to go further.
Original Cup becomes Original Corner.
A name that reflects a broader universe.
A name that embodies the diversity of products, uses, and moments.
The party is still here.
But it now coexists with games, sports, family, and everyday life.
The spirit remains the same.
The ambition grows.
Every moment counts.
