180 Degrees is a 5 piece tea service for one, with a bronze teapot, attaching strainer, teacup, and copper containers for cream and sugar. My goal was to achieve simplistic functionality; with clean planar forms and simple details that allow for tea drinking without the frou-frou. Along with a mixture of formal languages, I integrated functional design elements such as the curved edges on the teacup for both right and left handed people to drink from more easily, as well as walnut handles to allow one to grip their cup without the metal vessel burning them. Overall, this collection of vessels aims to work cohesively to carry out the ritual habit of tea-making without excessive ornament but still with visual interest.
Thanks for viewing my work!
