The 'Wood You like a Cup of Tea' is Naturally Appealing

‘Wood you like a cup of tea’ is not usually considered a mouthful, but more like one of the more polite and hospitable things to ask. Considering this is, in fact, the name of a teapot, makes it more cumbersome than welcoming.

Yet the design makes up for the poor name. Created by Swedish designer Jakob Solgren, the teapot features a wood-inspired exterior that lends a unique overall look. For Solgren, it "serves as an inconceivable portrait of nature and creates an extraordinary lure to the border between fiction and reality."
