About Terry Vaas
Terry is 'n keramiekhouer wat ontwerp is vir gebruik as 'n vaas, 'n tafelstuk of 'n bergingshouer. Die keramiekstukke word met die hand in Italië deur 'n plaaslike ambagsman vervaardig. Verskillende vorms, lank, kort en skraal, word saam op 'n reghoekige basis aangebring. Elke stuk is uniek, en die lyne is opsetlik onvolmaak. Terry word in verskeie groottes aangebied, van 300 tot 900 millimeter in breedte, en kan met kleure en afwerkings aangepas word. Die wit glansryke afwerking pas by 'n eetkamertafel, 'n sitkamer of 'n slaapkamer.

- The hardest part was to create a quality product, functional and attractive, but the biggest challenge was to understand the market: Users like imperfections? Can design be imperfect today? YES, people likes real and unique products, imperfections are part of this process.
- Research
- The research behind this product was to design an object as unique expression of a Human needs. Every furniture should not be just a functional object but should bring joy and meanings. My research started understanding how UX design is interacting with our behavior and how I could move this ephemeral computer concept in a Design product that we can use in our daily life. Can Design share emotions? The result was Terry: an emotion behind a unique object.
- Inspiration
- Terry is the expression of how design can be emotional: Different shapes are combined together: tall, short, skinny, fused all gather together in a rectangular base. We live in a world where we should remind our-self that we need to accept each other, no matter colors, cultures and languages. Having a nice dinner with this centerpiece over the table want to be a reminder that LOVE has different Shapes and an object is not just an object.
