Tuesday, 17 January 2023

Wei

As a way of life in China, drinking tea has a long history already. For the trend of many young people's getting used to drinking tea nowadays, team of Wushi is trying to present a minimalist and personal style of tea tray design. The shape is gradually changed on a plane, which increases the layer sense of the minimalist modeling and satisfies the natural elimination of the tea under the tea-making scene. The machining accuracy of the 3mm edge is guaranteed by the use of CNC, which can realize the original design principle.

Exquisite Moon Dreamer

The design is inspired by typical garden scenery in southern China and blends special elements of moon-shaped gate, Taihu stone, ancient window with assorted flower patterns and rippling lake view. The linear handler bridges both sides of the pot, just like the Broken Bridge at West Lake in Hangzhou. Under the “bridge” is water wave opening away circle in circle, creating a peaceful, quiet yet dynamic artistic experience at home. It creates such an experience that you may completely taste eastern aesthetics while making and drinking tea every day.

WithDelight

Serving bite-sized sweet treats on the side of coffee is part of many different cultures as it is a custom to serve a cup of coffee with Turkish delight in Turkey, biscotti in Italy, churros in Spain and dates in Arabia. However, on conventional saucers these treats slide towards the hot coffee cup and stick or get wet from the coffee spills. To prevent this, this coffee cup has a saucer with dedicated slots keeping the coffee treats in place. Since coffee is one of the quintessential hot beverages, improving the quality of the coffee drinking experience has importance in regard to daily life.
