The teeth mug explores the qualities of different materials in search of metaphorical resonance. Everyday materials and everyday objects possess properties that we overlook and undervalue. Lee Weilang is conscious of these properties, cognizant of things that other people dismiss or ignore. He has explored the overlooked essences of any number of common objects, and in the hard whiteness of porcelain and hard whiteness of teeth, has found a dialogue waiting to happen. When pure white porcelain – even purer and whiter than tooth enamel – comes in contact with the teeth, the effect is striking, invigorating, sometimes enough to make your heart skip a beat. It can shock us out of our daydreams or shock us into one. Who would have thought that a simple coffee mug could inspire such fantasies? The Teeth Mug is part of the Dr. Wow series of experimental products that seek to explore material and cultural possibilities. We associate certain materials with certain cultures, certain products, certain situations. But why? And what if we take these materials out of their cultural and social ‘comfort zone’ and look at them in a whole new light? Like other products in the series, the Teeth Mug has polarized opinion: some people find it frightening, some people find it fascinating. This radical design explores the potential for human interaction with an everyday object. Coffee anyone? 300 (L) * 145 (W) * 120 (H) mm
