Model: My Teahouse by Simon Kaempfer



“Make a step into the world of tea, slow down, enjoy, relax and focus on the moment. a place to celebrate my own tea ritual. From the beginning, research of calmness was linked to the aim of creating a space. a space where you have to slow down, feel protected and invisible. This is the reason why I designed a teahouse, a place for my own ritual of preparing and drinking tea. there is an important succession of actions: to select the tea, to prepare the teapot and to boil the water, to let the water cool down if necessary, to infuse the tea and to give it time to draw, to pour the tea into a bowl, enjoy it and to clean up afterwards.”
