Bright Fluorescent Tea

March 11, 2009

An actual ‘Tea light’! South Korean Designer, Wonsik Chae‘s tea-inspired light bag – both the ‘tea bag’ and the ‘tea’ contain chemicals, and the more you mix them by ‘steeping’ the tea bag, the brighter it glows.  See more images and find out how it all works here at Designboom.
