For Fabrikaat - Nijmegen
TERRA_TORY
TERRA_Tory is a project organized by Fabrikaat.
We were one of the four designers involved.
We researched Nijmegen’s river clays to find their aesthetic qualities and technical behavior, fired at different temperatures.
The project started by looking into ways to extract and process Nijmegen's local earth, which will be soon covered by habitation. Inspired by the terra sigillata technique, practiced in ancient Rome, we use the finest particles of different clays in different ways. As a body or as a coating.
We organized our investigation using samples with a shape influenced by Roman wares. Through a system of classification, we can easily identify each sample and reproduce the colors for the final collection.
