Analysing my everyday routine, I found drinking a cup of tea to be a large amount of it but with being such a limiting process having so many elements, could I re-innovate it to become easier, quicker or even more available to share. This flask is designed to encourage sharing through the connection of two people by having two people able to share a single moment with ease.

To re-Innovate the how people share a cup of tea I looked at have re-designed the concept of a flask to solve the problems that they all have. Designed to have a smooth compact form will allow easier storage especially not having intrusive or unnecessary corners that could hinder the storage of the flask. The cylindrical shape will mean the maximum amount of internal space without being too bulky. Similarly having a cup on either end over the body saves space by not wasting storage space and meaning the joins could be flush between the two components.

The key feature of this flask is its smooth silicone handles that have a dual purpose as the strap to secure them onto the body of the flask. With reasonable flexibility yet highly durability of this material the handles could have a large variation of shape, even the attachment mechanism could be simple thanks to the nature of the silicone. Silicones high heat resistance also resulted in the lining of the cups to give a layer of protection to the cups. Contrast to this is the wooden cups and body that give the flask a warm and comfortable feel unlike the usual cold harsh metal.
