The Design

About The Grand Tebakke

The Grand er en tebakke designet til traditionel kinesisk tebrygning. Hoveddelen er lavet af sort sten med en indlægning af luksussten placeret efter det gyldne snit. Bakkens overflade er formet som en trinvis geometrisk form med en gradvis overgang mellem høje og lave niveauer. Vandet løber fra det højere område, hvor tekanden står, til det lavere område, hvor kopperne er placeret, og forlader derefter bakken gennem et skjult afløb. Stenen er formet ved CNC-bearbejdning suppleret med manuelt arbejde, og overfladen er poleret.
