Terracotta Pots
Thelonious Goupil, 2023
The terracotta pots are made of dense, fired clay. The columnar shapes of the variously sized pots act as pedestals for the plants they contain, elevating them and giving them weight in the room.
The Terracotta Pots are available in four sizes: XS, S, M and L. The two smaller versions are intended for use on tables or shelves, while the M and L sizes are for the floor. The S version also consists of a three-piece set, which allows different compositions to be used to showcase plants in different ways.
The terracotta pots are made of high-quality terracotta from Italy. The natural material is pressed into shape and fired. It is characterized by good durability and is waterproof. The insides of the terracotta pots are glazed and there is a drainage hole on the underside.
Material
100 % terracotta, glazed interior surfaces, with drainage hole.
Thelonious Goupil
French industrial designer Thelonious Goupil, born in 1991, developed his sensibility for everyday objects at Ransmeier Inc. and Jasper Morrison Ltd. and graduated from Ensci (Ecole nationale sup£rieure de cr&eation industrielle) – Les Ateliers in Paris in 2016. in 2017, he deepened his approach during a one-year residency at the Villa Noailles in Hyeres.
Goupil’s aim is to design objects that are shaped by the context, the way they are made and the economics of the project. Because he is interested in how things relate to their surroundings, he works with architects to design products for specific places. He lives and works in Milan and has been working with Vitra since 2021.
Goupil and Vitra first came into contact with each other during the exhibition „Typology: A Study of Everyday Things“, which took place at the Vitra Design Museum Gallery in 2019. For this exhibition, Goupil and his design colleagues from the independent French collective Collections Typologie took a fresh look at previously neglected parts of our material culture and challenged visitors to question their relationship to everyday objects – especially against the backdrop of current debates on resource consumption and lifestyles.
