Tea Kettle Design
CHALLENGE: The heritage of tea is laden with ritual and meaning. You’re invited to translate this heritage into an icon of contemporary life, with form that functions at all levels of the experience.
SOLUTION: The color of the kettle is inspired by the warm and comforting feelings that tea-drinking brings those who partake. From a darker shade of red to an increasingly more luminescent red, the kettle uses thermochromic technology to alert the tea-drinker of temperature change. Creating an experience for the tea-drinker, the color-changing kettle becomes an exciting part of the tea-drinking process.
