Clay material was selected in order to suggest the origin of this blessed product, the Cretan soil. The land that gives the special taste and characteristics of this product.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The bottle is to be re-used as an elegant piece of kitchen utensil. The use is straightforward. There is a special notch on the top of the bottle in order to make olive oil flow easily without making a mess.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in April 2014 and took about 3 weeks for the design to be completed. This was done in Chania, Crete, Greece.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The brand has two distinctive elements given by its own name. TERRA - earth and OLIVA - olive which translates to Land of Olive. The brand was approached differently with simple modern lines that give memorable shapes.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The shape of the bottle helps to take as much space as possible when stored by the producer. So more bottles fit in less space.
