About Focus Set Teh

Focus adalah set teh keramik portabel untuk menyeduh dan menikmati teh. Set ini terbagi menjadi dua bagian, yaitu sebuah poci dan sebuah cangkir, yang menyatu menjadi satu bentuk ringkas yang mudah dibawa. Tampilannya terinspirasi dari lensa kamera, dengan struktur menonjol yang mengilap di bagian tengah pada sisi atas dan bawah. Focus dibuat dari tanah liat porselen tradisional Tiongkok dengan glasir mengilap serta glasir luar bertekstur doff, dibentuk melalui proses pembakaran keramik. Ulir sekrup dan dinding berlapis ganda mengurangi risiko melepuh akibat panas, sementara cerat poci menghasilkan aliran air yang halus.

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.

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.
