[DESIGN OBJECT] Ripple Effect Tea Table



It is a piece of latest design by a Korean design group, Jeonghwa Seo & Hanna Chung. It is a very simple tea table at the first sight, but I believe everyone will be shocked when the ripple effect if shown.

The visual design of the tea table is good enough, combining wood frames and a black, flat surface together. It can just be a simplified piece of furniture without the support of new technology. The material of the table surface is actually a transparent thin macromolecular material, under which a layer of liquid was stored. Every time you place a cup on the table surface, the liquid layer is affected, and the ripples can be seen speeding up on the surface of the table. As the main color of the table is black, the ripples of water can appear clearly.


the Ripple Effect
 The most special point of this furniture is that, it expresses the meaning of Zen, which means spiritual quiet and harmony. It offers a new feeling of enjoying tea time, sitting face to face at the table, using traditional pottery cups and looking at the ripple on the table. Don’t you think it’s something cool?

Tea Cup & the Table
 This kind of furniture can rarely been seen in shops because they don’t suit the modern style of interior design which is an appreciated by the majority of user. But for some Asians, the Ripple Effect Tea Table is what they have been searching for years. I like it very much because it reminds me of the traditional culture which my grandfather and father have enjoyed.
