Richard Hutten Handle with Care Teapot
2014, Droog Design.
Dimensions 21,5 × 20,4 × 13 cm

Limited edition (1000 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.

In excellent unused condition, out of production and a hard find outside of Europe.
