alessi limited edition tea & coffee towers by greg lynn
greg lynn-FORM: “‘‘tea & coffee towers’ is an ensemble of mass-produced one-of-a-kind objects. the set is designed so that there are three modules of container: large and medium sized pots for hot water, coffee, tea and milk, and small containers for cream, sugar and lemon juice. each of these individual containers is formed out of four independent curved metal sheets welded together along their edges to make a thermally separated inner container and outer sleeve. these containers share the same form at their edges so that they can be combined in various radial arrangements. the pots are designed by combining nine differently shaped curves. the vessels are formed of thin metal titanium sheets using heat and pressure. the recently deregulated manufacturing process was invented for stealth airplane fabrication because of the quality of surface detail and the accuracy of wall thickness. the design was refined at greg lynn form." designed with elena manferdini and patrick mceneany, and with assistance from claus dolde, lukas haller and nuri miller
