Inspired by tea pitchers popular in the Song dynasty, our new tea set combines traditional and modern design, with added stylish elements.

The traditional way of pouring hot water over tea leaves into the pot or mug to brew in often over-brews the tea which causes unpleasant bitter tastes.

Our designers have evolved the tea set construction in order to keep the flavor for each shot.
The innovative design of pitcher has 100% natural bamboo across the lid, which avoids the lid sliding off and scalding you.

The tea set comes in 8 different mix and matches color combinations.

Remember to drink a cup of tea and take time to enjoy the scenery around…
you may find the world is wonderful.

Munich-based design studio Formstelle has created a lounge chair for Thonet that combines comfort with customization.

A hard outer shell supports a soft quilted seat upholstered in a specially commissioned fabric made in collaboration with German textile manufacture Rohi. Called ’Soul’, the textile is made using a high-quality new woolen yarn and a multidimensional honeycomb structure that lends the fabric depth.

Customers can choose from six different color palettes, each consisting of material options in leather, fabric and formed fleece, with matching decorative seams.

A clever mechanism allows users to adjust the position of the chair while an auto-return spring assures that the chair always comes back to its original position. The angle of backrest can also be adjusted from an upright to a fully reclined position.

The swivel frame of the lounge chair is available in wood with bentwood elements, or with flat steel or tubular steel in various colors.
