The Bernadotte Thermo Tea Cup Set from Georg Jensen draws inspiration from Japanese tea sets through its hollow, double-walled structure. Sigvard Bernadotte’s signature grooved surface runs across the white porcelain exterior, and the hollow construction prevents the pieces from overheating when filled with hot beverages. At the same time, the grooves provide both visual rhythm and practical grip, showing how Bernadotte’s approach integrated aesthetic and functional considerations into forms that work for daily tea or coffee service.
