Within the New Originals project, Hutten took a classic Chinese teapot and gave it a bold, modern twist.

The original was cast iron, but Hutten replaced it with sleek porcelain, making it lighter and more refreshing. Instead of the usual delicate curve of the handle, Richard Hutten borrowed the grip from a good vintage clothes iron.

Bright red and easy to hold, it is designed to keep your hands safe as you pour hot tea into your mug. 'Handle With Care' teapot by Richard Hutten for DROOG, made in The Netherlands 2014.


Dutch designer Richard Hutten has adapted the traditional teapot from China, originally made of cast iron, into a modern version made of porcelain.

The teapot also features a handle that you might recognize from an iron used for your clothes. This red handle will help you handle your hot tea with care.
