Ripple Effect, the tea table as a small pond

Ripple Effect is a term that English borrows from Asian culture to describe those small changes in daily newspapers, however, that trigger chain reactions that eventually to impact on a group of people ever larger, as a literal form of ripples like a pebble thrown into a pond.

They know well the designer Jeonghwa Seo and Hanna Chung that by this mechanism, natural and social environment at the same time, have been inspired to create a table from the symbolic content, the Ripple Effect Tea Table precisely.

Its ceramic surface is bathed by a thin layer of water that form concentric waves every time a cup or any other object is placed. Definitely not functional, but beautiful and poetic in its way, this table is part of the diploma project ‘The geography of objects’ of the two designers at the Academy of Eindhoven.
