intro: Tea set
the 2th ceramic innovation design competition

Chinese go provides the origin for the design inspiration of this set of teapot. Tea-tasting has always been accompanying playing Chinese go since ancient times. The tea tray is designed to be like a go board, and the round teacup and teapot are just like several large-sized go chess pieces. The shape of teaset is fixed after several modification and elaboration. All the materials are woods and pottery, so people can appreciate the tea ceremony and the culture of go in Asia while tasting tea.

这套茶壶设计灵感来自中国的围棋。自古以来品茶和下棋经常会结合在一起。将茶具托盘的表面设计成围棋盘面，圆润的茶杯和茶壶就好比几颗大的围棋子。茶具的外形是经过不断的调整推敲最后定下来的，整体材料使用了木头和陶瓷结合的效果。希望人们喝茶时可以感受带有浓重亚洲文化的茶道和棋文化。
