British-Japanese designer Reiko Kaneko pushes the boundaries when it comes to fine bone china. Gone away are traditional figurines or your grandmother’s not-so-exciting tea set, and replaced with beautiful, modern designs, oftentimes inspired by her Japanese heritage. Now back to that tea set… The Drip Tease collection might be a classic looking tea set in form, but this one has a bit of a contemporary twist. Drip Tease teapot in gold Each piece in the set comes complete with playful drips of “tea” represented in precious gold and platinum

Engineering Temporality is the Design Academy Eindhoven graduate project of  Tuomas Markunpoika Tolvanen  that pays tribute to our temporal nature as human beings. Inspired by his grandmother’s slow decline with Alzheimer’s, Heidegger set out to create objects that could mimic the fragility of our lives. The pieces are made from tubular steel formed into rings and then the “vanishing” is done by burning the pieces with fire
