Our Catalogue A/W 2008

A bit about us... We are a husband and wife who have brought together a new generation of designers and some of the world’s finest artisan-manufacturers to make thoughtfully designed objects for the table. Over the course of 18 months, we visited countless studios and workshops throughout Europe, Asia and the US. Some visits were hilarious mistakes, others were unexpected triumphs. We met amazing people, experienced incredible things together and had a lot of fun doing it. When it came time for us to pair the designers and artisans we had met to create the elements of the Teroforma range, we couldn’t help but notice that something interesting was happening. Through all the apparent differences of nationality and language and culture, and despite the sometimes vast gaps in distance and even age, the things that struck us were actually the amazing similarities among the people we had met. We have come to think of Teroforma as a place where people can gather together, be who they are, pursue the things they believe in and create the things they can imagine. Telling the story of that creative process and the people involved is more than just a firm commitment to ethical practices and fair trade. It’s about giving credit where it’s due and offering our customers a chance to look beyond the object to appreciate the process. Our collaborations to date with 22 artisans and designers in 14 different countries have taught us that the most worthwhile things can come from the most unexpected places. And that with an open mind, the world can be an inspiring place. You just have to sit at the right table.

Andrew Hellman USA Designer

Mouthblown Non-lead Crystal

Wisely, Andrew does not take credit for designing a stone cube. Rather, it was his idea that we transplant an age-old concept from Scandinavia—where they have been making and using whisky stones for years—and have it made in the US, taking advantage of locally sourced materials and local craftsmanship. All in the name of slightly chilled whisky, just the way he likes it.

What happens when you introduce a 29 year old Norwegian designer to a 58 year old Czech master glassblower? A perfect mix of craft and tradition. Playfully mixing positive and negative space in complementary shapes, designer Thea Mehl worked alongside master blower Antonín Toman to connect her sense of imagination to his sense of craftsmanship. The results feel distinctive, yet somehow familiar. Made entirely by hand from non-lead crystal, the Avva tumblers are dishwasher safe.

Designer

Manufacturer

Father? Architect. Mother? Interior designer. The fact that Thea was born to be a designer is evident in the subtle confidence of her work. In designing for Teroforma, she welcomed the chance to collaborate with Kvetna and to add her very distinctive sense of fun and individual expression to Avva. “I would rather challenge than overturn,” she says. We’re not arguing.

Prince Alois von Lichtenstein was not satisfied simply founding a country. He also founded Kvetna Glassworks in 1794, where they have been making fine handmade crystal ever since. Nestled at the base of Javorina Mountain on the Czech-Slovak border, Kvetna’s reputation took root at the height of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The empire is gone, but the tradition remains.

Over 150 years ago, a Vermont farmer unearthed a sizable chunk of soapstone while tilling his field. Noticing the unique flexibility and thermal properties of the material, Vermont Soapstone was born. Still mined and milled locally under the watchful eye of owner Glenn Bowman, Vermont Soapstone was the perfect choice to make our Whisky Stones.

Ekke & Oyyo Tumblers Mouthblown Non-lead Crystal

Designer Jan Knotek (Czech Republic) collaborated with the craftsmen at Kvetna Glassworks (Czech Republic) to create the straightedged Ekke tumblers and the ovoid Oyyo tumblers. Combining simple, elegant lines with sophisticated colors, each non-lead crystal tumbler is mouthblown and hand-finished. Shape and color find resonance with other elements of the Teroforma product range. All pieces are dishwasher safe. Jan Knotek Czech Republic Designer

Jan Knotek is a straightforward kind of guy. His design philosophy focuses on simplicity and practicality, traits immediately apparent in the tumblers that he created to complement our unique Oyyo series as well as our Ekke carafe and tumblers. Jan has exhibited his work at both Frankfurt’s Ambiente and Milan’s Macef design shows.

Ekke Carafe & Tumblers

Roman Vrtiska Czech Republic Designer

Mouthblown Non-lead Crystal

Roman Vrtiska is as young and raw as he is mature and experienced. Calling on a sensitivity to juxtaposition informed by the dynamics of his hometown of Prague, Roman redesigned a vintage 1873 carafe produced by Kvetna Glassworks, finding new definitions for the traditional shape and considering the role of an object when it’s not in use.

Living in Prague, a city where funky juice bars stand next to gothic cathedrals, designer Roman Vrtiska knows a thing or two about the combination of old and new. The Ekke Carafe & Tumbler is a modern reinterpretation of a classic design from the vaults at Kvetna Glassworks. Each of the two mouthblown, nonlead crystal pieces are designed to fit together: cap becomes

Kvetna Glassworks Czech Republic Manufacturer

cup becomes cap. Incidentally, we made sure to design the Ekke Small Tumbler (page 5) with the carafe in mind—it fits just as well as the one you see here. Perfect for bedside or tableside. Both pieces prefer a quick rinse by hand.

The decanter is designed to aerate wine without the need for a funnel. The glasses feature a single-pull stem and are dishwasher safe. The decanter is best cared for by hand.

Oyyo White Handcrafted Bone China

The Oyyo bone china series is a study in balance and understatement. As the foundation for the entire Oyyo range of objects, we gave extra careful consideration to perfecting the minute details: the curve on each bowl, the slightly tapered rim of each plate, the perfect balance of body, spout and handle in the tea pot. Complements pieces from the Oyyo Petal range. Dishwasher safe.

Thomas Allen England

Asianera Studio Northern China

Designer

For English designer Thomas Allen, the world is all about shapes. Playing with the fluidity of a transformational curve, the circular base of Oyyo flows into an oval rim referencing the way potters alter thrown shapes with such ease. His willing and open collaboration with the mold makers at Asianera translated the Oyyo concept into a distinctive series of elegant functional shapes.

Located in Tangshan about 60 miles southeast of Beijing, Asianera founders Grace Liu and Jian Ping Li pride themselves on marrying western design with traditional eastern technique. Specializing in quality, handcrafted and handpainted bone china, their philosophy is that evidence of the artist’s skill and passion should be evident in each and every piece. 877 899 1190 • www.teroforma.com

Handcrafted Bone China

Maria Lintott’s Petal pattern says a lot without saying too much.

The world can be an inspiring place...

You just have to sit at the right table.

Search the world over. Currently, we work with 22 designers and artisan manufacturers who represent 14 different countries, 13 different languages, 12 different time zones, 3 different generations and both genders. We’ve found that when you gather people as seemingly diverse as these around an idea that allows them to be who they are, it is actually the similarities that you notice first.

Work with people you like. When you care deeply about what you do, there is a resistance to thinking of things as “perfect.” There is a willingness to discuss, collaborate, argue, debate and agree, but never simply to settle for things as they are. The people we work with believe in taking their time and being thoughtful and careful in what they do. Perhaps there are faster ways of doing things. But we like the fact that they couldn’t imagine doing it any other way.

Leave it better than you found it. Teroforma works solely with artisans and designers we have personally met, in workshops and studios that we have personally visited. Our partners’ commitment to offering employees fair labor conditions within a safe and healthy working environment which is free from discrimination and where management is committed to respecting the rights and dignity of workers is more than a pre-condition to all of the orders we place. It is a Somewhere between Vienna, Austria and Uhersky Brod, Czech Republic in search of the world’s finest glassblowers.

Avva White Handcrafted Bone China

The “rim” design of the Avva series is a nod to the traditional but acknowledges its designer’s love of the contemporary. Soft angles complement symmetrical curves. As the name implies, it coordinates effortlessly with our Avva tumblers and can be combined easily with elements of the Avva Fern series for the height of casual sophistication. Dishwasher safe. Jian Ping Li Northern China Designer

Jian Ping Li is a master ceramicist and a devotee of the classic gong-bi style of handpainting which originated in the Han Dynasty. His love of the traditional is tempered by a vision of the future—it is precisely the tension between old and new that he explores in his work. Drawing on architecture, jewelry and furniture design for inspiration, he describes his work as “functional art.”

Avva Fern

Handcrafted Bone China

Like the Oyyo Petal series, Maria Lintott’s Fern pattern began as a series of photos from an afternoon stroll through Kew Gardens outside London. Once back in her studio, Maria began layering elements and colors from the photos to create a pattern which is both naturally derived and graphically innovative. Working together with shape designer Jian Ping Li, Maria plays with the role of the “rim” in the Avva shape design. Elements of the hand-painted Fern pattern meander across the rim or just graze its edge. Dishwasher safe.

Cutipol is the result of generations of expertise and an insatiable appetite for innovation. Careful selection of raw materials, a close study of ergonomics and a firm commitment to quality has resulted in a reputation for beautifully practical designs.

Paola begins by her design process by sketching her ideas in the traditional way- pencil and paper- but this is where the similarity with her predecessors ends. Her sketches are reproduced three dimensionally using computeraided design that allows her to prototype and try numerous versions and variations until the shape is absolutely perfect.

Sambonet was created 200 years ago when Giuseppe Sambonet, the son of a goldsmith, founded the company to supply tableware to Italian nobility. Located in Orfengo, 60 miles east of Turin, Sambonet was the first company in Europe to manufacture stainless steel flatware and, to this day, continues the tradition of innovation with three designs in MoMA’s permanent collection in NYC. 877 899 1190 • www.teroforma.com

Coasters & Trivets Merino Wool Felt

Inspired by a walk through Berlin’s famous Tiergarten, designer Anna Dabrowski created for Teroforma a series of 100% merino wool felt coasters and trivets. Each design is available in green/blue, purple/pink or orange/red. While the natural density of felt makes it relatively durable, spills should be wiped away quickly and gently cleaned with mild soap and water.

Anna Dabrowski is a highly conceptual designer and photographer, a characteristic that’s readily apparent in her work and reflects her philosophy that “there is an entire life behind things.” Although she holds an MA from Central St. Martin’s in London and has garnered an enviable collection of awards for her work, it was her collection of spoons that convinced us she was right for us.

Established 75 years ago in Allentown, PA USA, Aetna Felt continues a successful history of combining high quality imported German felt with the ingenuity of traditional American production. Their enthusiasm for the material’s flexibility and huge range of potential applications is just as important as their skill and expertise. Smart is good. Smart and fun is better. 877 899 1190 • www.teroforma.com

...our friends and family for being supportive and having faith. ...the people who take the notes, arrange the meetings, get things done and never complain. ...Bob, Sam and Kenny who help get our products from where they’re made to where we are to where they’re going. ...the people who advised us, gave us their honest opinions and helped us realize our vision. ...our designers and artisans for seeing what we see and having the patience and commitment to point out what we don’t. ...the people who understand that big things happen in small steps and that any company, no matter what it does, makes or sells, is nothing more than a group of people who are accountable like everyone else for the ideas they have, the company they keep and the decisions they make. ...the cab driver who fell asleep with all of us in the car somewhere between Panevezys and Vilnius but managed not to hit anything.
