thermo tea and coffee service by luca galmarini from italy

designer's own words:

Thermo - Tea and coffee service.

Thermo rises from my two moot considerations:
I hate drinking cold coffee.
I hate the handles of tea-pots, I think they are ugly and often awkward.

How to remove the handle without scorching yourself?
My solution is to create an air space between two ceramic surfaces.
How to preserve the temperature of the liquid?
The air space, in co-operation with a cork lid and the silicon gasket, also has an insulator effect, this enables the tea or coffee, to cool off very slowly.

The production of the tea-pot and the coffee-pot of series Thermo is possible through two techniques.
The first, consists of separately printing the two ceramic surfaces and joining them before baking.
The second, in an only mould, by means of “slip casting” with the technique of lost wax.
The other components are simple productions.
