Temperatures here are in the mid-30s and so perversely I decided that our next design suggestion for Zen in Korea should be for Christmas. We work well in advance to get manufacturing deadlines right for the season.
I wanted to buck the trend of the normal, Christmas themed
scarlet /green/ holly/ baubles motifs. Instead I wanted to evoke a winter’s
night in a forest. The wind blows
between the trees and mist swirls in the chilled air casting a hazy diffuse
aura in the night sky.
I chose 2 simple shapes – here shown is the elongated oblong
(just right for a generous handing round of mince pies) and a tall mug.
