TEA is an abstract shape, an object of almost artisan imprinting that seems to represent two hands holding a light between their palms and letting out only irregular beams that create a chiaroscuro effect, as if projecting shadows on to the wall. Particularly innovative is the irregular, porous feel chosen for the extremely natural finish, almost like that of terracotta or ceramic biscuit.

As an architect and designer, Ferruccio Laviani works in the fields of furnishing and accessories, industrial communication, exhibition, event and show room installation. He has worked with a variety of companies worldwide. In 1992, the collaboration between Laviani and Foscarini began and it has continued since, with the research of new shapes and materials. His contemporary style is hallmarked by a particular sign or color.

A range of basic colors also helps us understand that objects of exceptional quality and great poetry can be created even from recycled materials. TEA is made from recycled thermoplastic technopolymer and comes in white, anthracite, dove grey, and terracotta.
