Teroforma was founded by the husband/wife team of Andrew and Anna Hellman with a simple aim: to make thoughtfully designed objects for the table. The duo has collaborated with 22 artisans and designers from 14 countries and built a range of products, including an appealing line of handcrafted wooden tabletop pieces available at Velocity Art and Design.
