The Tea Drinking rituals of China are quite intriguing as it has a lot of hierarchy practices to it. For instance a Boss will never pour a cup of tea for his juniors and the youngsters pour tea for the elders in the family. Even apologies, thanksgiving and peace offerings are made via tea. The cha.t Chinese Tea Set is crossbreed of contemporary equipment with these conventional values in mind. On one hand the kettle, cups and intentions are traditional.

Sarah decided to leave the corporate world behind her and has set up shop in her own home. Her home, round the corner from Portobello Market where she has a stall, is now overflowing with treasures and delights and she welcomes visitors with tea and cakes.
Really enjoying the illustrative work of London-based graphic artist, Richard Hogg. Just downloaded his Tea and cakes screensaver.
Random fact: Richard is also in a band called Satan’s Cock.

Ou de chocolat! The one time I was in France in my life, I stayed at a nice place of lodging just down the street from the Moulin Rouge (no lies!) And in this place of lodging, every morning, we were served toast and a choice of “café, tea, ou de chocolate.” And with the “Wake Up” alarm, that’s just the choices you’ll get. Every morning. Automatically.
Perhaps you have heard of this beautiful flower? It catches the eye, it enthralls the mind, it lies in the water existing only to be beautiful. All of these fancy qualities were necessary in order for designer Sait Alanyali to come up with this whimsical tea set. In the same way that the mind blooms on the refreshing taste combinations of the tea, the flower expands, open to welcome back the empty cup again - cradling it as you leave it once more in the bosom of the pedal bed.
I am so excited to finally share with you my new venture, BAKERY.
I spent a lot of time building Design Milk into a successful blog, and it continues to grow every day. I love doing this more than anything else I have ever done. But I felt the need to take it to the next level, to share it.
Great post from Michael Bierut over on Design Observer about his 85 notebooks spanning his 26 year career. I’m a pretty lazy person when it comes to reading and I don’t get designers showing their sketchbooks (it’s a bit like them saying they like tea) but the way he writes had me reading every word.
