Rarely do you hear teapots described as works of art, but I think an exception has to be made for the Dwell Teapot. The Dwell Teapot, designed by Christopher Centers, is designed to help you take a timeout from your busy life.
The Dwell Teapot helps you take a break from life with its artistic design. The teapot is covered in glass that lets you watch your tea being made. When in the pouring position, the pot becomes a modern work of art thanks to its circular and smooth design. As technology gets more advanced and things get "easier," people become more and more stressed. It is nice to see a designer create a functional object designed to relieve the stress of the modern world. Stress balls are all well and good, but they can't be counted on to make tea.
