The Design

About The Grand Bandexa de Té

The Grand é unha bandexa de té deseñada para a preparación tradicional do té chinés. O corpo principal está feito de pedra negra, cunha incrustación de pedra de luxo colocada segundo a sección áurea. A superficie da bandexa ten forma dunha figura xeométrica escalonada, cun gradiente entre os niveis alto e baixo. A auga flúe desde a zona máis alta, onde se coloca a teteira, cara á zona máis baixa, onde se sitúan as cuncas, e despois sae por unha saída oculta. A pedra é moldeada mediante mecanizado CNC con traballo manual adicional, e a superficie está pulida.
