Created by the Findland-based designer Nikolo Kermiov, this teapot draws inspiration from the image of rain on a mountaintop. The prototype is made of cork, ceramic, and glass so that the materials are as natural as the reference. The glass in particular allows the tea to be seen at all stages of heating, steeping, and serving, so that one can simply prepare tea while also entertaining the metaphor of tea as rain.
