Aniek Meelijk’s Tea Time

I was so blown away by the gorgeous tea time set created by Dutch designer Aniek Meelijk that I saw today on Design Spotter. Wow. “One warm spring afternoon on the garden table she sees more than her own tea set. She discovered that its shadows could not be separated from the shapes of the set and that they constantly played their own game with them.” This was what inspired her Tea Time collection! Don’t you love this rather mundane observation turning into something so grand?

Aniek Meelijk’s Tea Time

What innovation and creativity…

I wonder when and where it will be available for sale? I think it’s perfect for Alice in Wonderland! :)

    These belong in the Museum of Art and Design here in NY. So clever to meld the actual item with the shape that it casts off. To make the object and the space surrounding it into one visual form.

    I love these new ways of looking at the everyday.

    How unusual and quirky, I can just imagine the faces on my friends and families if I served them tea from those cups. Its wonderful to see some creativity. As they is no colours either it makes them look quite elegant.

    All things nice…

    Lovely, I just adore anything to do with teatime. Have a look at a wonderful South African designer’s work on http://www.homebakes.co.za. I have a couple of her pieces which are utterly delightful.

    how funny, I went to school with her sister. But her name is spelt wrong, it’s Meeldijk.
