The Design

About Focus Teservis

Focus är en bärbar teservis i keramik för att brygga och dricka te. Servisen består av två delar, en kanna och en kopp, som tillsammans bildar en kompakt form som är lätt att bära med sig. Utseendet är inspirerat av ett kameraobjektiv, med en blank upphöjd struktur i mitten av den övre och nedre delen. Focus är tillverkad av traditionell kinesisk porslinslera med en blank glasyr och en mattslipad ytterglasyr, formad genom keramisk bränning. En skruvgänga och en dubbelväggig konstruktion minskar risken för brännskador, och pipen ger ett jämnt flöde av vatten.

Production Technology: The tea set is made of Chinese traditional porcelain clay, combined with a bright glaze and a frosted outer glaze. The production method was ceramic firing technology.
Design Challenge: How to integrate the design inspiration of modern camera lens with the traditional ceramic has become a challenge. For example, the fusion between ceramic glazes has been continuously explored in the production process.
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.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2019 in Guangzhou,China.
