This design brings it all together, the beauty of Egyptian figures depicted on a cinnamon roll, the smart use of cinnamon roll structure as a container for honey, the combination of these two which is heavenly good, its taste and its scent and above all these its nutrition value. These all could be a symbol of heaven in your cup of tea.
LZ : No, this design is a group work of two designers ( Ladan Zadfar and Mohammad Farshad ).
LZ : The target customer could be any company that is interested in producing a complete new product.
LZ : Heaven Drop is a combination of cinnamon and honey in one piece. The honey is packed inside of the cinnamon roll by beeswax and when you put it in a hot cup of tea beeswax will melt and the honey will come out of the roll into the cup and sweeten your tea so you can have the sweetness and flavor of honey besides the taste and scent of cinnamon.
LZ : The wonderful combination of cinnamon and honey considering their taste and scent together with beautiful Egyptian figures on the cinnamon roll, can give you this feeling that you are experiencing a drop of heaven in your cup of tea.That is the reason we came up with this name for this design.
LZ : A cinnamon roll filled with honey that has Egyptian figures depicted on its outer surface in order to celebrate the first culture that realized the importance of cinnamon, Egyptians!We used the structure of cinnamon rolls as a container for honey.The inner surface of rolls are isolated with beeswax.Beeswax is also used to pack the two bottoms of rolls after filling them with honey. This design is also a hundred percent environmentally friendly.
LZ : No, this design is a group work of two designers ( Ladan Zadfar and Mohammad Farshad ).
LZ : This design’s production has several phases.First phase is depict phase that cinnamon sheets will be depicted and the sheets diameter will become one size. In second phase cinnamon sheets will be cut in a specified size, the third step is isolating the inner surface with beeswax and then is time for rolling the sheets which it needs metal rollers to help them roll in an appropriate way .In the next level one bottom of the rolls will be closed with beeswax, then they will be filled with honey and as the final phase the other bottom will be also packed with beeswax.
LZ : We did a background research on cinnamon and honey and their nature, we studied all different kinds of cinnamon and honey and their combination.
LZ : Most European and Asian countries use tea as their daily drinks and what people use besides their cup of tea is important. We looked for a different angle in order to create a whole new product to give everyone perfection in their daily drink.
LZ : We wanted to evaluate our work as designers and we also wanted to realize how this design perform itself internationally and professionally.
LZ : Every design has its own challenges and every challenge make you learn more, think more and gives you constructive experiences. So each time you try to make a difference it leads you to a different world of experience.
