Joey Roth: Making Tea Time Sexy Again

Way back in November of 2007 the folks at Snarfd dubbed Brooklyn based Industrial Designer Joey Roth's Sorapot, a radically minimalist reinterpretation of the teapot, the "Sexiest. Teacup. Ever." This set off a chain reaction in which our own David Vo put said teapot on his Christmas wishlist, inspiring Roth to create a companion teacup. Okay, so maybe it didn't quite go down like that, but we're glad to announce that the teacup now has a female or male companion, since its sex had not been previously specified. The companion cup is "designed to complement Sorapot's modern lines and glass brewing chamber. But unlike the Sorapot, there's no stainless steel: just a deeply grooved, minimalist flange for a handle, which flows smoothly below the cup to form a raised base." One thing's for sure, they make for one sexy couple.
