The Silent Machine by Eunjae Lee is a super masculine take on the classic tea set. Created as part of an Industrial Design Project, this tea set is dark, strong and imposing, three descriptors that are not often associated with the afternoon tradition. Yet it goes to show that tea time isn't just for little girls and their stuffed animals. People of all walks of life enjoy having a good cup of tea and this design reflects some of them.
Nevertheless, the Silent Machine by Eunjae Lee is also simple and elegant, which appeal to many others. Lee elaborates on the design, “Mathematically formulated silhouettes and details contribute to creating an image of mechanical regularity rather than being emphasized on their ornamentation.”
