KOUKAN
Teapots

The idea for this teapot design came about during a stay in Japan. The primary elements of the teapot, the body, lid, handle and spout can be combined in different ways, creating an individual design with every combination.

Because of these slight changes in direction or placement, the design expression of these teapots is surprisingly diverse. At the same time, despite their differences, none of the variations show any impairment in functionality or handling.

The collection comprises of three pot types: KOUKAN CLASSIC, KOUKAN MODERN and KOUKAN ASIA. Porcelain prototypes have been developed of the classic and modern variations. The KOUKAN ASIA teapot exists as a two-dimensional draft.
