About The Classic of Tea ブックデザイン
『茶経』は、茶に関する現存最古の文献記録をもとにしたブックデザインです。書籍とそのパッケージはすべてブナ材で作られ、中央のタイトルは赤銅に彫り込まれています。各ページは木製のパネルとなっており、取り外して個別に鑑賞することができます。蓋は中央から両側へと開き、書籍全体を取り出せる仕組みです。ページはレーザー彫刻機と塗料によって制作されています。素材の選定は、竹・木・青銅に記録が刻まれた中国古代の文化を踏まえたものであり、これらは初期の茶文化と結びついた素材でもあります。

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- 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
