Eindhoven based designer Joon Lee has recently designed this ceramic piece which that engages people to converse at the table.

The “Drink Link” tea set consists of a teapot connected to its cups, directly linking every person to each other.

Synthetic rope covering the porcelain was hardened through a heating process while the linkages to the cups remained flexible.

“By mimicking an historical artifact through using a different methodology and material, I created my own interpretation of the traditional Delft blue porcelain”, says Joon Lee.
