About Shi Ithreyi Yetiye
Shi yithreyi yetiye eklanyelwe ukulungisa nokuphakela itiye. I-Shi ihlanganisa idiski yetshe lemvelo ne-chassis yamanzi eyenziwe nge-aluminium. Ubuso buhlukaniswa yindawo eyisicaba nendawo egubekile, ngomehluko wobude oyi-16 millimitha. Indawo eyisicaba ihlala yomile futhi ibambe amathuluzi etiye, kanti indawo egubekile iqoqa futhi ikhiphe amanzi asetshenzisiwe. Umgudu wokukhipha amanzi utholakala kuyona indawo ephansi kakhulu yobuso obugubekile, ukuze izinga lamanzi lihlale libonakala futhi ithreyi ingacocwa ngesikhathi esifanele. Itshe libunjwa ngokusika okulawulwa ikhompyutha bese liphothulwa ngokucwilisa ngesihlabathi.

About the Umklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award
Shi Ithreyi Yetiye iwinile uMklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile kakhulu okunikezwa imiklamo ephawulekayo eyehlukaniswa ukudala, ubuhlakani nobukhali bengqondo. Abawinile beBhulonzi yimisebenzi enobuchule obukhulu nedala ngokumangalisayo eqinisekisa isipiliyoni esibanzi, umcabango nobuhlakani babaklami babo. Shi Ithreyi Yetiye ilindeleke ukuba ibe yinto exatshwa kakhulu, edunyiswayo nethandwayo, enobungcweti obuphawulekayo nezinto ezintsha. Lo mklamo owinile uMklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award uhlanganisa izindlela ezinhle kakhulu ebuciko, esayensi, ekuklameni nasebuchwepheshe futhi uhamba phambili ngenxa yokunaka kwawo imininingwane. Shi Ithreyi Yetiye iyanelisa izidingo ngokumangalisayo, ithinta izifiso, iheha imizwa futhi ikhanga ukufuna ukwazi.
Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- Tea tray is usually plane and tea water flows everywhere when using under the condition, which brings inconvenience. The design inspiration comes from bridge, which integrates plane & concave and presents the tension of shape. The concave brings height difference, which not only realizes dry and wet depart, but also can be easy to drain water, while cleverly reminding the state of water storage.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Product size Width 140mm x Depth 600mm x Height40mm
Package size Width 260mm x Depth700mm x Height80mm - Tags
- tea tray, stone design, simple, natural interaction, instinct, light weight, different materials combination
- Production Technology
- Shi is made of natural stone and aluminum. The natural stone is treated by CNC and water knife cutting molding technology, which surface is realized by sandblasting technology. The aluminum is treated by die drawing and cutting technology, which surface is realized by matte painting.
- Design Challenge
- The concave curvature of natural stone plate should not only ensure the high efficiency of drainage, and the realization of modeling, but also satisfy the reminding of water level. Through the virtual simulation and physical model test, the radius of curvature of the concave surface is determined to be 212 mm finally.
- Research
- The tea tray design belongs to the application research, which object is to guide user behavior through the simplest language form, combining with ways of user interview, focusing group, product usability testing, consumer diary.
- Inspiration
- Shi is a kind of water storage tea tray, which is made of natural stone and metal (aluminum) water chassis, modeling simple. The disk is designed with drop type through the plane with concave surface, with height difference of 1.6 cm. The plane is used as dry areas, the concave as wet areas, which cleverly realizes tea-making scenarios of dry and wet depart. Besides, for the concave is lower, so we can visually see the tea overflowing from the drain, which prompts the user dumping of tea.
- Project Duration
- The project was started in xiamen in February 2019, completed in xiamen in September 2019 and exhibited in Shanghai in October 2019.
- Operation Flow
- The flat part of the tea tray is placed with the tea set and the concave part is the operating area. The height difference between the plane surface and concave surface allows an efficient drainage. When the water reaches three quarters of the tank, the user can visually observe the water level from the lowest point of the concave surface to facilitate the timely dumping.
