The Design

About The Classic of Tea Design de Livro

O Clássico do Chá é um projeto de design de livro baseado no mais antigo registro escrito conhecido sobre o chá. O livro e sua embalagem são feitos inteiramente de madeira de faia. O título central é entalhado em cobre vermelho. Cada página é um painel de madeira que pode ser removido e apreciado separadamente. A tampa abre-se do meio para ambos os lados, permitindo que o livro completo seja retirado. As páginas são produzidas com uma máquina de gravação a laser e tinta. A escolha dos materiais faz referência à cultura chinesa antiga, que era registrada em bambu, madeira e bronze, os mesmos materiais ligados à cultura primitiva do chá.

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
