The Drink Link by Joon Lee Brings Draws Dinner Guests Closer Together

Tea parties are all about having a nice chat with a few people, so why not bring them closer together with the Drink Link?

The Drink Link is designed by Joon Lee who decided to find a way to have individuals connect to one another -- literally. The teapot and the cups are linked together via synthetic ropes. The ropes have been heated so that it tightens itself around the porcelain, so no matter how hard you tug on it it's not going anywhere. It's a clever design perfect for social occasions. \

So if you're looking to bring friends or the family closer together, the Drink Link will do just that.
