Revolutionizing Tea Drinking with SMALL BUBE

Portable Tea Set Design by Tiger Lee

The inspiration behind SMALL BUBE stems from the challenges tea drinkers often face. Tiger Lee aimed to create a tea set that not only addresses these issues but also aligns with the modern lifestyle. The result is a compact, portable tea set that can be easily carried around, making tea drinking a convenient and enjoyable experience anytime, anywhere.

What sets SMALL BUBE apart from traditional tea sets is its unique properties. The tea set is housed in a cork wood case, making it highly portable and easy to handle. The colorful elastic band serves a dual purpose - it adds a vibrant touch to the tea set and also acts as a heat guard, preventing users from burning their hands. This innovative design is a true testament to Tiger Lee's creative prowess.

The realization of SMALL BUBE involved meticulous planning and execution. The tea set is made of Bone China, a material known for its durability and elegance. The cork wood case was chosen for its lightweight, waterproof, and shockproof properties. The elastic band adds a pop of color to the white tea set, appealing to the younger generation and serving a functional purpose. The aluminum cover, an evolved version of small dishes, can be used to serve small cakes during tea time.

SMALL BUBE is not just a tea set; it's a symbol of the modern, fast-paced lifestyle. It's designed for those who love tea but often find themselves too busy to enjoy a traditional tea ceremony. With SMALL BUBE, they can now relish their tea moments, whether at home or on the go. The design also aims to recreate the ambiance of Oriental tea ceremonies, adding a cultural touch to the modern tea drinking experience.

SMALL BUBE faced several challenges during its development, one of which was finding a material that could ensure the tea set's safety during travel. After extensive research, cork was chosen for its waterproof, portable, and crashworthy properties. This innovative design won the Silver A' Packaging Design Award in 2018, a testament to its remarkable design and functionality.
