Tea Bag Lights Up your Night, Literally
Surely you caffeine addicts will agree, coffee truly is the sexually oriented drink – It picks you up! It illuminates your world, if I may say so. Designer / Bookmark Maker Wonsik Chae takes this concept to an elegant level by making the drop-in tea bag light up your environment chemically. For those whose eyes are sensitive to brightness in the mornings, I recommend a different cup. For those who love lamp(s), drop it!
As the tea bag empties its taste into a tea cup, so does the “Lighting Bag” empty its light into any fluid-holding container. What Wonsik hopes to accomplish with this project is to tear down the idea that creating forms from which light can be projected must be a difficult task – he wants light forms to flow easily.
Having a manifesto for your industrial design project can be a dangerous rope to walk – what do you make of Wonsik’s liquid light concept?
P.S. I must say, I LOVE the URL of Wonsik’s portfolio, as it plays on the pronunciation of the name: http://www.onesik.com/, and be sure to see the Contact page – it’s beautiful!

Can you actually drink this?
rayelle says
I am also wondering if you can actually drink this if it is made from chemicals i am guessing that you can’t… which is a shame because i think this would be an amazing drink

我想也是的。
matt says
very cool and unique. astray from usual lighting concepts of using a form and just incorporating LED’s or a bulb….great job
zippyflounder says
very nice, I am hoping it does not use hydrogen-peroxide reaction (cyalume stick) because that stuff is pretty toxic if you (or some drunk friend) drinks it.
powers says
Yeah, reminds me of the Twenties when drinking radioactive tonic water was all the rage… I’ll wait.
MadCow says
seriously who cares about the tea… thats one cute korean!
cerberus says
although it looks great and is a fun idea …. In relity its a one use light that you cant turn off until it naturally “winds down”, how much use will the average user in the home find for this?
Colin says
Are there different colours?
I love it! It would really make a nice, romantic decoration for a restaurant.
myles says
Incredible! How do I BUY them??? Please send contact information if there is a way to purchase them – I would love to use them in photographs I make! Thanks!
Zach says
Those do look cool. I agree with you about coffee too though!
KwangErn says
How long does it last? Is it reusable somehow? Can you put it out somehow?
It could totally substitute candles in many ways… ^^ though I ain’t sure about it being a teabag…

My wife just proposed it may be concocted from lightening-bug butts.
