Make Tea in Style
Estelle Sauvage – ECAL graduate – pays tribute to the 100w lightbulb, an item once prevalent in many European homes some time ago that is no longer for sale in certain countries, replaced by its energy saving equivalents. Up to 90% of energy in a traditional lightbulb is wasted and Estelle built her kettle design around this concept, by harnessing this otherwise wasted energy – to make tea in style.
Her design uses an incandescent lightbulb mounted on a wooden base coupled with a glass jug with a deep recess that fits right over the lightbulb. Switched on, the heat from the lightbulb slowly heats the jug/kettle up to 90 degrees celcius – not enough to boil water, but adequate for making your afternoon tea.
A very novel way to making tea for your guests and a very clever tribute to the incandescent bulb
