Tarro is not just any ordinary container; it is a carefully crafted piece of art that combines form and function in a harmonious way. Each part of the container is defined strictly by its function, resulting in a family of products where every piece is unique. The pottery is made using the traditional lathe technique, ensuring a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The cork lid provides a tight seal, while the wooden handle adds a pleasant tactile experience.
What sets Tarro apart from other containers is its emphasis on simplicity and the use of natural materials. The combination of ceramic, cork, and wood creates a warm and textured blend that adds character to any space. The design team at Diario has carefully chosen these materials to not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also to ensure durability and functionality.
With its clean lines and minimalist design, Tarro fits seamlessly into various lifestyles and spaces. Whether it's used as a decorative piece or for storage purposes, Tarro adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any environment. Its versatility makes it suitable for modern living, especially in smaller spaces where functionality and aesthetics go hand in hand.
The creation of Tarro was not without its challenges. The design team at Diario aimed to establish a connection with local workshops, promoting traditional techniques while optimizing production processes. The challenge was to achieve a handmade product with a refined finish and some standardization, all while combining different materials and shapes in an attractive way. The result is a design that successfully marries the traditional with the contemporary.
Since its inception in December 2013 in Montevideo, Tarro has garnered recognition for its exceptional design. It was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2015. This prestigious accolade is a testament to Tarro's outstanding expertise, innovation, and remarkable level of excellence.
Experience the beauty of simplicity and craftsmanship with Tarro. Whether you use it to store your favorite items or simply as a decorative piece, Tarro is sure to elevate your space with its unique design and functionality.
