Designs and concepts these days are more about remodeling or embedding futuristic technology into existing gadgets. But Korean Industrial Design students Jeonghwa Seo and Hanna Chung thought of something rather more unconventional-use the intangible culture as seed for a Tea Table Design. Eastern folks strongly believe in the "Ripple Effect" of small changes in individual personality or objects can have a big impact on a social culture. As seen from the images, there is a water layer on the top of the table. The tea plates floats on the water when one is drinking tea. Any movement on the table would cause an impact across the entire tabletop.
The design attempts to deliver an interface for analyzing the way of considering cultural differences in psychological level through the process of design and form. Business organizations need to be culturally sensitive when entering new markets or tossing out new products. On a similar note, the folks here want the design fraternity to consider mentality when dealing with culture as a context of design.
Give the fact globalization is shaping the future of World Economy, a deeper understanding of a region's culture and cultural differences as against other social structures will help one get on top of the heap. This has been beautifully illustrated by Tea Tabletop Design.
