About The Classic of Tea Konsepsyon Liv

Classic of Tea se yon konsepsyon liv ki baze sou premye dokiman ekri sou te ki konnen jodi a. Liv la ansanm ak anbalaj li fèt antyèman an bwa hetre. Tit santral la grave nan kwiv wouj. Chak paj se yon panno an bwa ki ka retire epi gade separeman. Kouvèti a ouvri soti nan mitan an vè de kote yo, konsa liv konplè a ka leve soti nèt. Paj yo pwodwi ak yon machin gravi lazè ansanm ak penti. Chwa materyèl yo refere ak ansyen kilti Chinwa a, ki te konsève sou banbou, bwa ak bwonz, menm materyèl yo ki lye ak kilti te a nan tan lontan.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Redesigned The Classic of Tea, which is the world's earliest book recording tea. The book is wholly made and packaged by beech wood. The central title is carved with red copper. Ancient Chinese culture before Christ was mostly handed down by bamboo, trees and bronze, and tea culture also evolved from these three materials.
Dimensions & Packaging: packaging:230mm*230mm*60mm
page:210mm*210mm*1.2mm
Tags: tea, book, wood, copper, traditional
Production Technology: Beech wood, red copper, painting, laser engraving machine,
Design Challenge: The combination of the power, speed, and engraving material density of the laser machine is the key to improving use rate of the finished product rate. I have tested more than 30 times in total.
Research: Re-editing ancient books with Adobe Illustrator, then using laser engraving mechanisms for finished products, controlling the balance between laser engraving machines and paints is the most difficult part of the project
Inspiration: As Laozi recorded in the Tao Te Ching "nature from the way, and the way from what is beneath abstraction". There is a close relationship between tea culture and traditional Chinese Taoist culture. The ancient people enjoyed the return to nature and self in the process of drinking tea,coinciding with the Taoist concept of "harmony between man and nature".
Project Duration: Production starts in 2017 and ends in Beijing in 2018
Operation Flow: Open the lid of the book from the middle to the sides, take out the whole book, each page of the book is made of wood, can be taken out separately to watch
