DESIGN NAME: Reverence
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Tea Brewer
INSPIRATION: Inspired by the heat insulation properties of perlite material, Reverence tea brewer is created to serve hot tea for longer periods of time.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Designed as a sustainable tea brewer, Reverence is an energy and resource efficient teapot that combines traditional and modern elements in a harmonious way. The lower water pot is comprised of two chambers which are insulated with perlite between. Therefore, similar to a flask, the water is kept hot for a longer period even after it’s removed from the oven. With an inclined form that resembles the serving gesture, Reverence tea brewer is ready to serve for tea lovers.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The water is heated at the lower chamber, then the upper chamber is filled with the hot water with tea leaves or bags and the teapot is left for brewing. It will be ready for serving in 5-10 minutes.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Ankara
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Home Appliances Design
