Updates // Our new flatpack breadbasket
The Avva Felt Breadbasket is made of 100% wool felt and extends the core theme of complementary angles consistent with our entire Avva series. Designed by Josh Jakus (Berkeley, CA) and made exclusively for Teroforma by Buffalo Felt (Buffalo, NY), the breadbasket ships flat; then, when two tabs are tucked into slots, easily transforms into a gracefully curved bread server. The thickness and friction of the felt surfaces keep the assembled version upright, even when the front is opened for access to the contents. It will hold four bagels or equivalent size breads. After the meal, it can store flat or remain assembled and displayed as a decorative object. Available for Spring in soft white, spring green, deep brown and quiet grey, with an Autumn palette to be offered later in the year.

Updates // ChiChiHome Whisky Stone Auction
Just a quick note to let you know that Chi Chi Home in Canada has decided to do some good with the last set of Whisky Stones available in North America this season. The team at Chi Chi have decided to auction off their last set of Whisky Stones (at least until January when we ship them some new ones!) and donate the proceeds to a local charity. As they rightly point out, there are many worthy causes out there that need some help at this time of year. We applaud the gesture and hope you will let your last minute shopping do some good too.
Just follow this link to bid - the bids close today, so hurry :)

Friends // Inventory Magazine
Previously known as h(y)r collective, the Vancouver, BC based trio of Ryan Willms, Owen Parrot and Simon Roe have recast their efforts into a fantastic new magazine concept called Inventory. In their own words:
“We value products and clothing for more than just their appearance, admiring how they’re made, by whom, and why. It’s through this passion and attention to detail that we view the things in our lives from a different perspective. With a hunger and willingness to learn, we search for the rare, unknown and new, while always remembering tradition and the past.”
The video above is the first they have posted under the Inventory name, and I think it says it all.
As early supporters of Teroforma, the guys in Vancouver tracked us down for an interview earlier this year. It became quickly apparent that we share a central conviction - knowing the story of the people and processes behind the product mean appreciating it even more. With a marketplace full of companies selling the least offensive alternative at the lowest possible price, it is heartening for us to know that there are others out there who place the same kind of premium on thoughtfulness and craftsmanship as we do. We also know a bit about shooting for the top with a very small team. Any day, it ain’t easy - but to make it look this good with the first issue is an amazing achievement. So Happy Birthday to Inventory from Teroforma. Do yourself a favor and check out the next big thing.

NEW // The Whisk(e)y Lover is HERE!
As the days grow shorter and the weather turns colder, we find ourselves eyeing the fireplace anticipating the crackle of perfectly dried wood as the season’s first fire comes to life. It’s that feeling of contentment as you settle into a favorite chair after a great meal with friends while the conversation keeps going and the glasses get filled. Outside is just the reason to be inside - everything that matters is right there.
We designed the Whisk(e)y Lover Set with just this type of occasion in mind. While we could not fit a fireplace, friends, a great meal or a favorite chair into the box, we are pretty sure the Set will start you off in the right direction - it contains two mouthblown, non-lead crystal Avva Series small tumblers (dishwasher safe) and six Whisky Stones with their muslin storage bag. Just open the box, chill the stones, line up your favorite single malt and you are ready to go!
The Whisk(e)y Lover is now in stock and ready to ship!

Updates // Teroforma @ NYC Makers Market
We’re here late packing up for the 1st Annual Makers Market to be held this weekend at Socrates Sculpture Park near the Noguchi Museum in Island City, NY - right across the East River from Manhattan.
Here’s what the packing looks like so far…
So far, so good. It’s a great group of participants so, rain or shine (the former being far more likely), we’ll be in our tent this weekend livin’ the dream. If you’re in the area, please do stop by and say hello - we’re in tent three (just click the top image here to go to the Makers Market website for details). Full report next week. Ciao.
