About Focus Set za čaj

Focus je prijenosni keramički set za čaj za pripremu i ispijanje čaja. Set se sastoji od dva dijela, jedne posudice i jedne šalice, koji se spajaju u jedinstven kompaktan oblik koji je lako nositi. Izgled je nadahnut objektivom fotoaparata, s izraženom sjajnom strukturom u sredini gornjeg i donjeg dijela. Focus je izrađen od tradicionalne kineske porculanske gline sa sjajnom glazurom i mat vanjskom glazurom, oblikovan keramičkim pečenjem. Navojni spoj i dvostruki sloj stijenke smanjuju rizik od opeklina, dok grlić omogućuje ravnomjeran protok vode.

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.
