The tranquil beauty of a lotus pond on a hot summer day serves as the muse for this tea set design. By incorporating lotus leaves, lotus blossoms, and lotus seedpods into the product design, the design team aims to create a serene and peaceful atmosphere perfect for a delightful tea experience. The tea cup and Gaiwan, adorned with a soothing bean green colour, feature petals that gracefully extend upwards from the bottom of the cup, evoking the image of a lotus bud slowly unfolding. The lotus cover button at the centre of the Gaiwan's lid adds a touch of elegance and freshness, enhancing the design's visual appeal.
The lotus blossom, a symbol of purity and nobility, is a key design element in this tea set. It carries a profound symbolism, reflecting the design team's aspiration that the user will embrace a bright future, regardless of the current circumstances. The tea bowl, thoughtfully designed with a large spout, a drainage groove, and a water filter in the lid, not only enhances the aesthetics but also provides a functional solution for filtering tea leaves, blending beauty with practicality.
The tea tray, meticulously designed to harmonize with the lotus theme, is adorned with a captivating lotus leaf colour. Crafted from ceramic glaze material, it boasts a fine texture and glossy lustre, showcasing a mesmerizing gradation of green hues. The three circle textures on the tray, coupled with the green colours, create a captivating illusion of ripples in a lotus pond. Placing the tea cups on top of the tray not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides an immersive tea-tasting experience, akin to being immersed in the depths of a lotus pond.
This tea set's exquisite appearance makes it ideal for home decoration. When the teacups are inverted on the tea tray, they transform from lotus flowers to green mountains, providing the user with a contented and relaxing experience akin to travelling between landscapes. This expands the scope of the tea set's use beyond tea-tasting.
