man wah tea trolley
mandarin oriental
hong kong
The end product of this project is only one special function trolley, deceptively simple. But from the first design draft submitted to the final delivery of trolley, it took a whopping five years. Altogether the design direction changed two times, in between are countless hours of research, development and testing. The passion by Man Wah on the art of tea is matched by our passion in offering the best solution to them.
To serve tea in a traditional Chinese way may be ubiquitous in a mainland tea house or restaurant. However, it is a very different story when the vision is to serve the guests in a Michelin starred restaurant with an assorted selection of fine teas expertly and elegantly, changed according to season, in the very heart of the Central financial District, and on a rolling machine that is slim profiled and smart.
Best is to come and enjoy the experience yourself, unwinding from the hustle and bustle of the outside in the hush within Man Wah, and soaking in the calm preparation while leisurely tasting a brew of fine tea.

文华厅茶艺车
香港文华酒店
这项目的制成品只是一辆特别功能小车，看来极为简单。但从我们提交第一个设计图到最后送货却历时五年。设计方向前后转变了两次，期间付出的研究，设计与开发小时不计其数。文华厅对茶艺的执着跟我们对完美产品的追求如出一辙。
向客人奉上即席泡制的茗茶在国内甚至香港的茶馆或餐馆都颇为普遍。但这项目的性质却大为不同。我们需要达到的是在中环金融区心脏地带的一所米其林轮胎评级餐厅内，经一辆漂亮而为茶艺度身订造的服务车子，专业而优雅地向客人奉上随四季时节而调整的特选茗茶。
无谓多说，最佳选择是前来感受。放下外边的喧闹，在文华厅宁静的环境中松弛下来，慢慢用眼，心和味觉欣赏茶艺师温文有致为您准备的茗茶。

The functions that need to be performed by the trolley are quite disproportional to its footprint. Hence, effective space planning is crucial, and every component of the body is carefully considered in its position, dimension and style to yield overall simplicity and coherency.

茶艺车在小巧的身躯上提供的所有功能确实是不成比例。因此严谨空间规划至为重要。茶艺车的每一个部件的位置，大小，形态等都考虑周详，最终达至简约而内外一致的紧密设计。
