Richard Hutten Handle with Care Teapot, 2014 Droog Design.

Limited edition. Only 1000 are even produced.

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 swapped it for sleek porcelain, making it lighter and fresher. 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’s 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.
