Second Skin TEA CUPS
“Some people will tell you there is a great
deal of poetry
Designed by
Peter Calaitzopoulos, Second Skin Tea Cups enable users to enjoy tea and coffee
with maximum sensory stimulation.
Encouraging
the use of all 5 senses when drinking tea, using a Second Skin Tea Cup often results
in an emotional connection to
product and soon leads a personal
affinity for the cup; making it a perfect gift idea.
Second Skin’s
form, (as the name implies) is made of two parts; the porcelain tea cup, and
the 100% recycled cork skin.
Together,
these two environmentally friendly materials, allow the users to fully experience
the joys of tea, with the cork sleeve acting a protective insulating wall;
preventing contact with the hot ceramic.
The ability
to grasp a hot tea cup by its body, and bring the cup close to face comfortably
is seldom seen with other tea cup products commercially available.
The unique
egg-shaped from of the combo-cup invites users to pick up a cup of hot beverage
from the undersides of the cork skin; making tea consumption a more fun and
personal experience.
The opening
of the cup is also proportioned appropriately for consuming liquids much in the
same way our hands cup water when drinking from a fresh river.
Second Skin tea
cups are easy- stack, easy-store and easy wash, with the porcelain insert
suitable for both dishwasher and hand wash, and the cork exterior wiped with a
damp cloth.
Second Skin
is 100% Australian made and owned, with all raw materials used for the ceramic
sourced in South Australia, and all cork skins are made of recycled Wine and
champagne bottle stoppers from the Barossa Valley Region.
The cork skin
may also be grasped from the front and backsides of the egg-shape and consumed
from the wide side of the cup,
Or, it may
simply be held in one hand either on the underside or a side wall
The
complementary colours and textures of cork and porcelain give Second Skin Tea
Cups an elegant and timeless aesthetic. The Cups make great gifts and many
customers
Many
customers often purchase two Second Skin cups, to have one for themselves as
well as the gift receiver

it is really challenging design for the tea cup, as a tea lover i like your design! your model has been very well made ! good job !
ReplyDeleteyou always have really cool ideas! this design was executed well, i really liked your choice of material and manufacturing process. The final product addressed the brief well, as a "gift" the form served its purpose, and allows the holder to make an emotional connection when its in use. its obvious that your hard work has paid off once again, well done!
