Tête-à-Terra
Tête-à-Terra is our way of celebrating life, culture, art, dialogue, and hope.
Tête-à-Terra was located in Strijp-S area,Ketelhuisplein during the eight-day-long Dutch Design Week, a gathering that is all about the design of the future and the future of design. Two independent walls stand opposite each other, articulating an intimate space for random encounters and an opportunity for pause. Made of earth bricks, a material created by combining unique soils of the Cappadocia region of Türkiye, with waste fragments from ceramic production, the pavilion’s primary objective is to cultivate an environment that encourages meaningful human interactions. In a world increasingly driven by progress and technological advancements, the pavilion invites us to pause and reconnect with the natural world, serving as a sanctuary where individuals can find solace, groundedness, and support.
