Perhaps you have heard of this beautiful flower? It catches the eye, it enthralls the mind, it lies in the water existing only to be beautiful. All of these fancy qualities were necessary in order for designer Sait Alanyali to come up with this whimsical tea set. In the same way that the mind blooms on the refreshing taste combinations of the tea, the flower expands, open to welcome back the empty cup again - cradling it as you leave it once more in the bosom of the pedal bed.

Whafty, yes? Sait imagined a world where the spoon would no longer fall to the middle of the plate. To resolve this problem, he turned the plate into a flower. It is called the “Nilufer Tea Set.”

More parts to clean and a prettier world - one feels disinclined to argue for or against this solution. Watch the video before you decide - surely the Nilufer Tea Set will win you over.
