Family Tea

Family Tea is a tea set with 30 ceramic cups and a tea pot

that form a complete family tree: the Benvegnú family.
The investigation is based on the imperfections and particularities we all have that we have inherited from someone. Each piece shares the same color palette, however, upon being passed down from previous generations, the tone and quantity of color that it shares with prior iterations changes, along with other defining details, although they still pertain to the same group.
Similarly, no two mugs are the same, just as no two people are the same. The family seal and the little spoons with each person’s name and birth date complete the concept.
