amir alizade: tèmpo

'tèmpo' is a ceramic cup in two parts
'tèmpo' by milan-based designer amir alizade, is a ceramic cup made in two parts.
a bottom component contains a mechanical timer that reminds you when your infused beverage,
such as tea, is ready. the timer can be set from one to seven minutes depending on the time
that is needed to prepare the drink. the vessel of the cup sits on top of the timer.
'tèmpo' was first shortlisted in the designboom competition, 'the intelligent hand' and will be exhibited next as part of
the designboom stockholm mart from february 8th - 12th, 2011.
