This is a really special tea set! Designed by renowned ceramicist Marek Cecula, the "Qubus II Tea Set" references constructivism and Mondrian neoplasticism. Consisting of two small cups, a milk jug and tea pot, the form of the "Qubus II" is based on a vertical structure divided by strong planes of colour that encourages the user to play with form and structure; by moving individual objects, new, three-dimensional images are created.
