About The Classic of Tea Bokdesign

Teens Klassiker er en bokdesign basert på den tidligst kjente skriftlige opptegnelsen om te. Boken og emballasjen er laget utelukkende av bøketre. Hovedtittelen er utskåret i rødkobber. Hver side er et trepanel som kan tas ut og betraktes separat. Lokket åpnes fra midten mot begge sider, slik at hele boken kan løftes ut. Sidene er produsert med en lasergraveringsmaskin og maling. Materialvalget viser til gammel kinesisk kultur, som ble nedtegnet på bambus, tre og bronse – de samme materialene som er knyttet til tidlig tekultur.

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
