Shared Terracotta Designs with 12 entrepreneurs and over 20 individuals all over the world till date
Some products and communication material are available as free downloads on our site.
We acknowledge that getting everyone to make a difference cannot be fulfilled by one company or only one type of solution. That is why we made our signature terracotta range Open Source with a Creative Commons Licence of Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike.
Our design intention was to be easy to replicate and create a culture of Copy4Good. Our site is designed to make all information easy and fun to understand with a host of free presentations, posters and films.
Our idea was to catalyse the space for a new practice to emerge and set the conditions for a new market.
