Teracrea for Greenery in Architecture

Teracrea was set up in 2002 based on an idea of the two founder partners, Mauro Canfori and Emanuela Destro, with the objective of creating a family of products designed to introduce greenery into internal architecture and offer new solutions to traditional pots for outdoor plants.  In light of this, a number of important designers were asked to interpret and explore the concept of "greenery as a means of organizing the space around it". 

From these meetings a series of interesting proposals arose which envisage the use of conventional materials, such as terracotta and more innovative ones such as fiberclay, a material with the same aesthetic features but which is much lighter, that were met with enthusiasm in their respective areas of interest.

At the beginning of 2006, Teracrea joined the DEROMA GROUP, a world leader in the production of vases and pots for flowers and plants, with the objective of proposing and developing the concept of design in the plant and greenery industry, using a wide range of both traditional and researched materials.

As a result, a new, exciting co-operation was initiated which led to the fine-tuning of existing products or the development of new solutions to define interior and outdoor areas, making spaces more attractive and more functional.

As well as the well-known projects by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Fernando and Humberto Campana, rotational projects by Konstantin Grcic and Marco Ferreri were also set up.  Alternative materials were proposed for the products of Fabio Bortolani and Sebastian Bergne and a new project by Edouard Francois was developed.
