About Drink Beauty Food
Drink Beauty is like a beautiful jewel that you can drink ! We made a combination of two objects that were used separately with tea : Rock candies and lemon slices . This design is completely eatable . By adding lemon slices to rock candy's structure, its taste becomes incredibly better and its food value increases because of lemon's vitamins .The designers simply replaced the sticks that rock candy crystals were held to with a slice of dried lemon . Drink Beauty is a complete example of modern world which brings beauty and efficiency all together.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- This design is a combination of lemon and rock candy that are usually used separately with tea . We wanted to give a more attractive look to these food and also bring them both in one package . Rock candy is a beautiful crystal rock made of sugar and water which is usually held to a little stick . Dried lemons and fresh lemons are both used with tea . We simply replaced the stick that rock candy is held to with a slice of dried frozen lemon.This design is like a beautiful jewel that u can drink.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- This product is a luxury product so we don't use all slices of a lemon because they don't have the same space . We select only lemon slices that have about 2.5 centimeters diameter . So its total diameter after the crystals appear will be 4 centimeters .The product total third dimension is about 8 millimeters . It is not possible to tell the exact dimensions because the crystallization process is something that can't be done in an exact shape every time but we can manage total numbers for dimensions .

- Production Technology
- Rock candies are made in a simple way . Factories have big containers of water that is satiated with sugar , the little wooden sticks are placed in them and in a certain amount of time the crystals start to appear on the stick . The innovative part of our design is that we replaced the stick which you can't obviously eat with slices of dried lemon that is eatable , has a better taste , more beautiful and contains lots vitamins .
- Design Challenge
- We did a major research on a lot of factories that produce rock candies to know the problems and flaws .We looked for a different angle so that we could produce a new product that does not have those flaws . We combined rock candies with lemon and create a whole new product .
- Project Duration
- This project has been incoporated as an industrial design project in Iran on Monday, May 6, 2013 .
- Operation Flow
- For a much better result the solution of water and sugar must be completely wave less . So the crystals will appear more symmetric and clear .
- Research
- Now a days we live in a world that we do not just rely on the use of things we have .We want every thing to be beautiful , chic and in its best look possible and we also want things to be environmentally friendly because of the world's pollution problems . Our design includes all aspects of a good , innovative design .
- Inspiration
- As we all know tea is the world's second favorite and most used hot drink. It is mostly used in Europe and Asia . People usually drink tea with sweets and other things such as honey,sugar,lemon,dates,rock candies. In my country it is mostly used with rock candies but they are not beautifully designed and they add lemon flavor to rock candies which makes it really disappointing . This design is healthier because we used a slice of dried frozen lemon and more beautiful.It is a drinkable jewel .

Design Interview about Drink Beauty Food
As we all know tea is the world's second favorite and most used hot drink. It is mostly used in Europe and Asia . People usually drink tea with sweets and other things such as honey,sugar,lemon,dates,rock candies. In my country it is mostly used with rock candies but they are not beautifully designed and they add lemon flavor to rock candies which makes it really disappointing . This design is healthier because we used a slice of dried frozen lemon and more beautiful.It is a drinkable jewel .
As designers we want to make everything around us more useful and more beautiful so we worked on designing a product that is healthier and more beautiful .
We hope that this award can help us find investors to mass produce this design because every designer would love to see people using his design.
This concept took a week to be designed .
Sometimes ideas come from simple things and little flaws that we feel something has , the idea of this design occurred to our minds because of our love for tea ! We usually drink large amount of tea and we love to drink it with rock candies but the problem was that the rock candies were not designed beautifully and we also wanted to add some lemon flavor to our tea .But the rock candies that had lemon flavor did not have that fresh taste we wanted so we decided to design a rock candy that looks beautiful and different and tastes fresh .
We would love to participate with investors who are interested in this design .
The design world is really widespread and it gives anyone the opportunity to push the boundaries and make everything look different and even design things that did not exist before so we encouraged ourselves to do something different .
No , there were not and this product was designed the way that was explained before .
Everyone in the world , everyone who likes to enjoy a cup of tea with Drink beauty !
This design is healthier , completely eatable and it also looks especially different .
We named it Drink beauty because it was the way it felt when we first tried it .
No we did not .
Technology has a great role for every design and for sure has a great part in our design too .
We did a major research on a lot of factories that produce rock candies to know the problems and flaws .We looked for a different angle so that we could produce a new product that does not have those flaws .
We had to specify our priorities and combine two different products and design a whole new product .
As designers we always try to be updated and we trace good designs and designers and the best field to find them is to follow great international design competitions such as A'Design Award so we became familiar to this competition . We decided to submit our design to evaluate our work and understand our place in the design world .
We did major researches and a lot of study in order to get the best result we could .
