Takeaway proposal that brings the classic English Afternoon Tea experience, to the modern urban lifestyle.
The proposal consists of three elements:
-A conventional paper cup with plastic lid, which incorporates a detachable 2 Tier made of cardboard. The big tier is designed to carry cakes, scones or finger sandwiches, and the smaller tier has two possible functions: either carry jam, cream or sweets, or incorporate a natural flower to the set.
-A Tier Fridge, which works as a normal fridge but in circular form, with a direct reference to the classic English Tiers.
-An Afternoon Tea stand that includes two Tier Fridges, showcasing scones, cupcakes, cakes, finger sandwiches, candies and a bunch of flowers on the top. The stand conceives the classic experience by also including music and a good selection of teas and coffee.
The project tries to bring up to our hectic urban lifestyle, a touch with the same sensitivity and sense indulgency of the traditional English experience.
