it's in the teabag

21900
If are constantly irritated by people leaving their teabags in the sink, perhaps you ought to start collecting them to make a spot of caffeinated art, just like Malaysian artist and architect, Red Hong Yi did! Known for creating art out of less-than-obvious objects, be it coffee-cup stains, flower petals or even bamboo sticks, incorporated used teabags for this piece.
Her latest project, titled Teh Tarik Man, took 20,000 teabags and two months of hard work to complete. The work was commissioned by her home country Malaysia to display at the World Economic Forum. Hong Yi was inspired by teh tarik (meaning pulled tea in Malay), a national drink that’s served in local cafes.

Tom Foerstel : Founder & President

Tom Foerstel

Founder & President

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 60’s, Tom developed a strong desire to create positive change for people and planet.

He went on to pursue his passion for art and design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and worked for design firms in Southern California before moving to Boise, Idaho in the early 80’s. Foerstel Design opened its doors in 1985. Since its inception, the firm has cultivated a bold, happy, forward-looking team focussed on creating distinct and effective work on behalf of their clients.

An integral part of Tom’s philosophy is giving back to the community in which he lives — a company cornerstone that drives Foerstel’s long history of providing pro-bono services to local non-profit humanitarian and arts programs.

One of Tom’s proudest personal achievements is his ability to say Supercalifragilisticexpyalidocious backwards.
