About Focus Teeservice

Focus ist ein tragbares Teeservice aus Keramik zum Zubereiten und Trinken von Tee. Das Set besteht aus zwei Teilen, einer einzelnen Kanne und einer einzelnen Tasse, die sich zu einer kompakten, leicht zu transportierenden Form zusammenfügen lassen. Die Gestaltung ist einem Kameraobjektiv nachempfunden, mit einer glänzenden, erhabenen Struktur im Zentrum des oberen und unteren Teils. Focus wird aus traditionellem chinesischem Porzellanton mit glänzender Glasur und mattierter Außenglasur gefertigt und im Keramikbrand geformt. Ein Schraubgewinde sowie eine doppelwandige Konstruktion verringern die Verbrühungsgefahr, und der Ausguss sorgt für einen gleichmäßigen Wasserfluss.

Research: In the study of traditional Chinese tea culture, we found that the number of young people who like drinking tea is increasing. We hope to design a tea set that overturns the traditional tea set and has modern flavor to bringing more possibilities for people's tea life.

The combination of an industrial camera lens with a high degree of precision and traditional Chinese ceramics is a design where modernity collides with tradition. The tea set integrates the elements of mechanical industry and unique modern design, and integrates aesthetics and practicability. Even in a busy city life, you will feel very relaxed when you smell the tea aroma.
