Persona Teacups

Designer: Office for Product Design


Persona Teacups

A family of simple teacups which initially seem

identical but soon show their own subtle personality.

The basic silhouette of 'Persona' is a contemporary

reinterpretation of the traditional Chinese tea cup.

Closer inspection reveals a series of individual texture

like patterns which are almost more tactile than visual.

The true quality of these cups are only fully

appreciated once held in the hand or up against the

light, when the translucency of the delicate porcelain

accentuates the patterns.

Launch: June, 2012

Sino Knives and Chopping Board



Sino Knives and Chopping Board

'Sino' is a compact set of kitchen knives with a unique Chinese

character designed to address most domestic cooking needs.

The set includes a large chef's knife and a smaller paring knife,

both with advanced ceramic blades which are specifically

suited for cutting and slicing without the need for regular

resharpening. In contrast, the traditional Chinese cleaver has a

durable stainless steel blade which combines the weight

required for chopping with the sharpness necessary for more

delicate cutting operations.

This careful consideration of materiality is further reflected in

the matching double sided chopping board. Machined from

laminated bamboo, it has an edge grain cutting side and an

opposing end grain chopping surface which can withstand the

impact of the cleaver without damaging its blade.

Launch: July, 2012
