About Focus Xogo de Té

Texto do Libro: Focus é un xogo de té de cerámica portátil para preparar e beber té. O xogo divídese en dúas partes, unha cunca e unha taza, que se unen nunha forma compacta e fácil de transportar. A aparencia baséase nunha lente de cámara fotográfica, cunha estrutura brillante e elevada no centro das partes superior e inferior. Focus está feito de arxila de porcelana chinesa tradicional cun esmalte brillante e un esmalte exterior esmerilado, formado mediante cocción cerámica. Unha rosca e unha parede de dobre capa reducen o risco de escaldaduras, e o bico proporciona un fluxo de auga suave.

Production Technology: The tea set is made of Chinese traditional porcelain clay, combined with a bright glaze and a frosted outer glaze. The production method was ceramic firing technology.
Design Challenge: How to integrate the design inspiration of modern camera lens with the traditional ceramic has become a challenge. For example, the fusion between ceramic glazes has been continuously explored in the production process.
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. While you are drinking tea, it brings the visual sense of fashion and modernity.
Inspiration: The element of lens inspiration in camera capture is a common element in modern life. Focus tea set features a camera structure, with the camera lens as the main element of its appearance, which looks very modern. 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.
