About Focus Set de Ceai

Focus este un set de ceai din ceramică, portabil, conceput pentru prepararea și consumul ceaiului. Setul este format din două piese, un vas unic și o cană unică, care se îmbină într-o formă compactă și facilă de transportat. Aspectul se inspiră dintr-un obiectiv foto, cu o structură reliefată și lucioasă în centrul părților superioare și inferioare. Focus este realizat din argilă de porțelan chinezesc tradițional, cu o glazură lucioasă și o glazură exterioară mată, obținute prin coacere ceramică. Un filet elicoidal și un perete cu strat dublu reduc riscul de opărire, iar forma gurii de scurgere asigură o curgere lină a apei.

Research: In the study of traditional Chinese tea culture, we found that the number of young people who like drinking tea is increasing. 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. While you are drinking tea, it brings the visual sense of fashion and modernity.
Inspiration: The element of lens inspiration in camera capture is a common element in modern life. Focus tea set features a camera structure, with the camera lens as the main element of its appearance, which looks very modern. 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.
