(2014 - Personal project)  Tea time with my roommates was one of the best moments of my Erasmus daily life. However, we had nothing to serve the drink with. The ceramic workshop seemed to be very timely and appropriate. As I got to learn how to process this material, I seized this opportunity to conceive a tea pot for our place.

 

Mixing Finnish and Japanese influences, I also wanted to make this object as simple as possible. The tube part above the flattened sphere allows the user to grab Ti-pot without an actual handle, thanks to air natural insulation ability. Ti-pot is a pun between the writing (little pot in French, and the English pronunciation (‘tit pote = lil buddy in French) Once I went through the whole ceramic process, we could finally serve the tea in a compact and friendly pot, that establishes a physical contact with its user. I’m now seeking to extend Ti-pot in a range of drink service.
