Christine Misiak Tea Sets
I love tea. And when people and businesses come up with eco-friendly tea products, I’m able to love tea even more. Christine Misiak is one of those people. She’s a British product designer who has given new life to old tea sets. While I tend to prefer minimal Asian tea design to traditional British tea style, at my core I’m a design geek who can appreciate good design, wherever it comes from. On her site, Christine explains: My tea sets aim to preserve and portray important aspects of the past, and reminding us of the importance of past objects by using features from old neglected tea sets and blending them with the new and modern. Updating old tea sets and reinventing them to make them current and fashionable for today’s market. . . . Therefore the idea of reusing these old things acts as a way of giving them a new lease of life. Reusing and reinventing old tea sets to make them current and fashionable again rather than just a forgotten thing of the past. Christine has recreated/recycled several different tea sets. One’s an exciting kelly green, one is a bold orange, then there’s a mod citron, and a black one… see them all here! (via Inhabitat)
