The inspiration for this unique tea set came from the beautiful waterlilies. Problems with the spoon `escaping` under the glass everytime we take the glass from the plate forced us to seek a solution. By putting these chrome finish waterlily petals on top of the glass leaf, the problem was solved and some new functions were created. Like, the petals are closed by the weight of glass and now there is a place for the spoon to rest. The spoon design is inspired by the stamen of the flower. The crystal-cut waterlily petals on the glass is a finishing touch to complete the concept of the set.

This is a conceptual design.

Cinema 4D R10.5 was used for modeling, animation and rendering. The video was made with Keynote.

I have a Mac Mini and a Powerbook. As I am a huge Apple fan, I wanted to design my own Mac Mini. I tried to research every component, size, power consumption, price, etc. The whole process took approximately a week. People usually spend years for a product like this and I am just a product designer not an engineer, so go easy on me :)

The soundtrack is a song called ‘Velvety’ by Pixies.
