Here’s a Little Teapot,
Short and Stout
Unpacking a Fluid Design
The Sorapot teapot and its package design are a juxtaposition of contrasting design elements and sustainable sensitivity.
From recycled and recyclable packing materials to the Sorapot’s stainless steel and cylindrical glass form, every detail is steeped in considered appropriateness.
Timeless Impermanence
The Sorapot package benefits aesthetically from naturally imperfect corrugate patterns and earthen hues. Natural materials such as jute and recycled paper ensure its biodegradable impermanence. The molded pulp composition of the package provides a sturdy yet forgiving structure that is stout enough to function as a nested shipper and attractive enough to present well at retail.
Steely Style; Sensual Steep
Edgy enough for a metropolitan home, soothing enough for a meditative retreat, the Sorapot delivers a more responsible and experiential design than its competition.

I really like this design, but does it whistle? A whistling teakettle is such a comfort! On the other hand, seeing the water roiling around might be a comfort as well.

It may, or may not, whistle. I really can’t say - just roll with it. :)
