I choose to design a tea kettle for a Japanese career person who takes tea time to slow down and relax with friends or family. The goal was to design a kettle that would not over shadow the delicate nature of tea, but highlight its inherent qualities.
The above is an image board I created for the project. I was not as interested in other tea kettles as I was natural patterns and textures from Japanese culture. The exercise of sorting through many images and getting down to just a few that represent the concept best is a very helpful process for me. It enables me to further define my design aesthetic, but also broadens my thinking.
