Grow Growth

Tea ware in the Orient is considered a form of cultivation and way of life, and the stains it develops over time reflect the user's history with the object, adding vitality and serving as evidence of its growth.

Drawing inspiration from this, I regard tea drinking as a method for users to creatively engage with furniture, designed a porous tea table structure that can be dyed. The tea water and the tea leaves embedded in the table serve as dyes, creating different color patterns on the surface of the table with each immersion and drying process.

Similar to growing a plant, the state of the furniture changes over time, as the user's interaction with it adds a unique history and vitality to the furniture, completing it in a way that is unique to each individual.
