Turn your morning coffee, afternoon iced tea or favorite beverage into a colorful art experience with the Mood Indigo 20 oz. Viking Tumbler by Robert M. Swedroe.
Wrapped in imagery from Swedroe’s vibrant Mood Indigo collage, the tumbler transforms functional drinkware into a portable work of contemporary art.
The composition comes alive across the tumbler with saturated indigo, turquoise, violet, pink, green and yellow. Flowers, butterflies and intricate layers of collage imagery wrap around the vessel, revealing different elements of the artwork as the tumbler is turned.
The 20 oz. stainless-steel tumbler features double-wall insulation and copper lining to help keep cold beverages icy and coffee or other hot beverages warm for hours. A press-in, twist-closure lid adds convenience for everyday use.
Perfect for the office, home, commuting or travel, this distinctive tumbler brings Robert M. Swedroe’s art beyond the gallery wall and into your daily routine.
It also makes an inspired gift for art collectors, contemporary art enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates colorful artist-designed accessories.
The cylindrical shape of the tumbler is particularly well suited to Mood Indigo.
Instead of presenting only one section of the composition, the wraparound design lets different parts of Robert M. Swedroe’s artwork emerge as the tumbler rotates—from lush floral imagery and butterflies to the striking indigo figure at the heart of the composition.
It is functional drinkware that continually reveals another piece of the art.

Mood Indigo is a richly layered Robert M. Swedroe collage filled with intense color, botanical forms, butterflies and unexpected visual discoveries.
Deep indigo and violet anchor the composition while brilliant turquoise, green, pink and yellow create a vivid garden-like environment around its central figure.
One of the defining characteristics of Swedroe’s collage work is the density of visual information within each composition. Details emerge gradually, encouraging the viewer to return to the work and discover something new.
