The Design

About Terry Xerro

Terry é un recipiente cerámico deseñado para ser usado como xerro, peza central ou recipiente de almacenaxe. As pezas de cerámica están feitas a man en Italia por un artesán local. Diferentes formas, altas, baixas e esveltas, xúntanse sobre unha base rectangular. Cada peza é única, e as liñas son intencionadamente imperfectas. Terry ofrécese en varios tamaños, desde 300 até 900 milímetros de anchura, e pode personalizarse con cores e acabados. O acabado branco brillante acae ben nunha mesa de comedor, un salón ou un cuarto.

Production Technology: Ceramic Pieces handmade in Italy, based on a simple pencil sketch made on a road trip from Puglia to Venice, the sketch was presented to a local artisan and made with unique care and craft. Every piece is unique. Finish: White/Glossy.
Design Challenge: 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.
Project Duration: Project started in 2010 on a road trip from Puglia to Verona. The design was finalized in Soave, a small town close to Verona. First sample made in 2011 with a local artisan.
Operation Flow: Terry can have different sizes and can be used as centerpiece, storage and as simple combination of vases for flowers, candy, candles, Fruit, Jewelry and much more.
