About Shi Teekandik
Shi on teekandik, mis on loodud tee valmistamiseks ja serveerimiseks. Shi ühendab endas looduslikust kivist ketta ja alumiiniumist veealuse. Pind on jaotatud tasaseks alaks ja nõgusaks alaks, mille kõrguste vahe on 16 millimeetrit. Tasane ala püsib kuivana ja sellel hoitakse teeserviisi, samas kui nõgus ala kogub ja juhib ära kasutatud vee. Äravool asub nõgusa pinna kõige madalamas punktis, mistõttu jääb veetase nähtavaks ja kandiku saab õigel ajal tühjendada. Kivi on vormitud arvutijuhitava lõikamise teel ning viimistletud liivapritsimisega.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Tea tray is usually plane and tea water flows everywhere when using under the condition, which brings inconvenience. The design inspiration comes from bridge, which integrates plane & concave and presents the tension of shape. The concave brings height difference, which not only realizes dry and wet depart, but also can be easy to drain water, while cleverly reminding the state of water storage.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Product size Width 140mm x Depth 600mm x Height40mm
Package size Width 260mm x Depth700mm x Height80mm - Tags
- tea tray, stone design, simple, natural interaction, instinct, light weight, different materials combination
- Production Technology
- Shi is made of natural stone and aluminum. The natural stone is treated by CNC and water knife cutting molding technology, which surface is realized by sandblasting technology. The aluminum is treated by die drawing and cutting technology, which surface is realized by matte painting.
- Design Challenge
- The concave curvature of natural stone plate should not only ensure the high efficiency of drainage, and the realization of modeling, but also satisfy the reminding of water level. Through the virtual simulation and physical model test, the radius of curvature of the concave surface is determined to be 212 mm finally.
- Research
- The tea tray design belongs to the application research, which object is to guide user behavior through the simplest language form, combining with ways of user interview, focusing group, product usability testing, consumer diary.
- Inspiration
- Shi is a kind of water storage tea tray, which is made of natural stone and metal (aluminum) water chassis, modeling simple. The disk is designed with drop type through the plane with concave surface, with height difference of 1.6 cm. The plane is used as dry areas, the concave as wet areas, which cleverly realizes tea-making scenarios of dry and wet depart. Besides, for the concave is lower, so we can visually see the tea overflowing from the drain, which prompts the user dumping of tea.
- Project Duration
- The project was started in xiamen in February 2019, completed in xiamen in September 2019 and exhibited in Shanghai in October 2019.
- Operation Flow
- The flat part of the tea tray is placed with the tea set and the concave part is the operating area. The height difference between the plane surface and concave surface allows an efficient drainage. When the water reaches three quarters of the tank, the user can visually observe the water level from the lowest point of the concave surface to facilitate the timely dumping.
