tac white | teacup – design walter gropius + katherine de sousa

tac - a porcelain tableware with elegant, exciting lines and formal and functional elements. walter gropius designed the service at the end of the sixties in collaboration with the ceramic artist katherine de sousa. the dynamic form is the result of sections of a sphere and the radii and curves, surfaces and lines derived from them. the curve of the handle continues in the lid handle and offers an intuitively perceivable point for securing the lid when pouring the tea.
In addition to the white version and the version in black porcelain, there were always new decorative variants.
