About The Classic of Tea Buchdesign

D'Klassik vum Téi ass e Buchdesign, deen op der fréierster bekannter schrëftlecher Opzeechnung iwwer Téi baséiert. D'Buch an seng Verpackung si komplett aus Buchenholz gefabrizéiert. Den zentrale Titel ass a rout Kofer geschnëtzt. All Säit ass eng Holzplack, déi ka rausgeholl an eenzel ugekuckt ginn. Den Deckel geet vun der Mëtt aus no béide Säiten op, sou datt dat komplette Buch erausgehuewe ka ginn. D'Säite gi mat enger Laser-Gravéiermaschinn a Faarf hiergestallt. D'Auswiel vun de Materialien bezitt sech op déi al chinesesch Kultur, déi op Bambus, Holz a Bronz opgeschriwwen gouf, déiselwecht Materialien, déi mat der fréierer Téikultur verbonne sinn.

Behind the Design

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
