Presented during Milan Design Week 2012, the Top Tea Set by japanese studio nendo is part of the “1% products” exhibition, where each product on show will only be made available in editions of 100.

The teapot and cups have a thick wooden lid that fits snuggly to keep tea warm, with a pointed center that condenses the steam into liquid and directs it back into the teapot instead of dripping down the sides. When the top is removed, it can be spun, offering some tabletop amusement during tea time.
