The studio 'SUOMO Design' has created a 3D-printed tea set that offers a visually appealing and functional product.
Called the 'Button Collection,' the tea set comes in the form of two teacups -- one large and one small -- as well as a pot for sugar and another for food products like cookies that are held on an oblong tray. The tea set comes in white and muted blue colors and features unique tactile decorative accents on various aspects of each individual item. The set was manufactured using 3D printing technology, which ensures that the tactile aspects of the product are as well-designed as possible.
This 3D-printed tea set is able to offer a design that is functional and reveals just another one of the many potential uses for 3D printing technology.
