Pendulum Brew is a cold brew tea maker designed to transform the brewing process into an engaging and interactive experience. Unlike traditional methods that rely on passive waiting, this teapot features a unique swinging motion, allowing users to gently push it back and forth to enhance the infusion process while creating a calming, rhythmic interaction.

The transparent body provides a visual connection to the gradual infusion of tea, making the process both functional and visually engaging. A built-in ice container with small perforations ensures a slow, controlled cooling process, eliminating the need for refrigeration while keeping the tea at an optimal temperature.

Inspired by the passage of time, Pendulum Brew merges aesthetics with functionality, offering a new way to experience cold brew tea. By integrating movement, ritual, and sensory engagement, it redefines how users interact with cold brew tea.
