Thoughtfully designed objects for the table. That's what Teroforma is all about. Form, beauty, and simplicity... with the essential element of function.

Anna and Andrew Hellman, the Swedish couple behind Teroforma, collaborate with artisans and designers all over the world making everything from handblown glassware, to high-fired porcelain china, to soapstone Whisky Stones that keep you dram cool with no dilution.

This fall, Teroforma is introducing the Avva line, with products that perform double duty. A bowl's lid is made from beechwood, so it can also be used as a cutting board. A carafe's stopper turns into a condiment bowl for lemons, limes, or ice.

For Anna and Andrew, it's about products with a sense of place and and pride of craftsmanship. Here are a few of their recommendations for home design stores they love.
