A Teamotea studio
TEA.TOYS develops original creative properties within Teamotea: characters and the worlds, stories and collections that grow around them. The collection presents this work through images, character pages and visual exploration.
Part of THETEA by Teamotea
Tea is a meeting point for places, people and ideas. Within THETEA by Teamotea, TEA.TOYS gives that curiosity a cast of original characters and a world of stories.
What is TEA.TOYS?
TEA.TOYS is Teamotea’s IP development studio within THETEA by Teamotea. It develops original characters and the creative worlds around them.
How are Teamotea and THETEA connected to the studio?
The studio belongs to Teamotea and forms part of THETEA by Teamotea. TEA.TOYS expresses that ecosystem through characters, stories and collections.
What does the studio develop?
Its work centres on characters, worlds, stories, collections and visual development. The website brings these strands together through character pages and images.
Are the characters traditional or historical figures?
They are original fictional creations. Cultural and historical references inform selected stories; one character does not represent an entire community or tradition.
Does a 3D view mean a figure is ready for production?
The displayed 3D models were supplied by the project owner. They allow viewers to explore the form; readiness for physical production must be assessed separately for each design.
What role does tea play?
Tea connects characters to places and everyday actions. Stories distinguish where a tea is produced from where a character enjoys it, and fictional habits from documented practices.
