The "red dot award" is a design award established in Germany in 1954. Designs that have been commercialized within the last two years will be judged based on nine criteria such as innovation, functionality, and ergonomics.

"TIPPING TEA CUP" introduced this time was a non-selected honorable mention at the 2011 red dot award. It is a product that should be called a Kyusu and a tea cup.


The TIPPING TEACUP has a V-shaped bottom and is designed to tilt when placed on a table. There is an area that can be used as a tea strainer in a part of the cup, and the tea can be brewed by tilting the cup toward the tea strainer area, putting tea leaves in it, and pouring hot water. When you drink tea, you can tilt it to the other side to prevent it from coming out too much.


Designed by Finnish designers Laura Bougdanos and Vesa Jaasko, they are beautiful and can be adorned as an interior decoration.

I sell it on Amazon.com etc., but unfortunately it seems that I can not buy it from Japan.
