Design Porn: My teapot by Anouk Jansen

Working on the Domestic Sluttery book has meant my time spent on my couch staring at my laptop has dramatically increased. Apart from making my already square eyes even squarer, this has had two main effects: I've been spending far too much money on internet shopping and I've been obsessively thinking about tea, the substance powering my typing efforts. I've already introduced you to Hugo the tea ball this week, so how about a lovely new teapot?

With all the sunshine outside, what could be better than Anouk Jansen's bright yellow teapot? There's something appealing childlike about the mismatched handle and lid. The fact it's called My Teapot reminds me instantly of fun Fisher Price toys - a very good thing indeed - and it makes me want to ring up all my friends (using the Fisher Price wheelie chatter telephone, naturally) and invite them to a tea party.

The teapot is available in two other colour combos and costs £44.99. Even better is that you can buy mugs in the same style for £7.60, in eight amazing colourways, meaning you can mix and match your crockery till your heart's content.

SCP is only selling it in-store which means, if I want one, I'll have to leave my couch and computer to go out and get one. Judging by my all-time high levels of internet shopping and tea consumption for once this is a bonus.
