The history of the tea set goes all the way back to about 200 B.C. and over that 2200 years tea sets have had every conceivable shape. This version of the tea service set was designed by Eunjae Lee and it's a simplistic yet elegant tea set.

"A tea service set, Silent Machine, is composed by functional products reflecting aesthetic interpretations on function-focused forms. Every single object can be identified when it is utilized as a part of the whole. Mathematically formulated silhouettes and details contribute to creating an image of mechanical regularity rather than being emphasized on their ornamentation."

These vessels are so cylindrical and they look like each element is the same circle that's been extruded with varying diameters and circumferences. The dark grey color also catches my eyes with a soft and relaxing feeling. You can read more about this tea set here.

Here is a packaging concept that carries this packaging to pure pleasure of an object. It presents us with this beautiful packaging for tea and careful reflects attention and extraordinary virtuosity. It was designed by project student Maria Milagros Rodriguez Bouroncle for Louis Gagnon of Paprika Works.

The packaging designed itself is called the "Simply T"; very minimal on the outside but when opened it's an explosion of color where each teabag is a work of art. Personally, I would love this to be an actual product. It would make a great talking piece in the kitchen and it would give the kitchen style.
