Fall (Tea Maker)
2009

My purpose was to design a kettle that promoted tea drinking and was efficient, user empowering and enhanced visual engagement with the tea brewing process.

-Easy to control the strenght of the tea-

The simple locking system and the sliding tea strainer can be withdrawn from the hot water easily at any point during the brewing process. This not only allows the user to determine the strength of the tea, but also eliminates the need to fully remove the dripping leaves from the kettle; thus reducing mess and the unattractive presence of this by-product of the tea brewing experience. The transparency of the body of the kettle permits the user to see the strength of tea and enjoy the changing color of the water as well.

Since the heating element, at the bottom of the kettle, is concave it can be placed on any flat surface without damage it.
