About Us
Handcrafted Works…With a Story and a History
Meaningful purpose…this is the soul of Teracottage.
The inspiration that sparks the creation of our products is a story…A story waiting to be told and brought to life in our New Jersey atelier.
At Teracottage, our Artisan Garden Sheds and accessories are created as works of art and our offerings are “One of a Kind” or numbered limited editions.
We create each original item with such depth of detail, that a history record accompanies each product, documenting the inspiration and recording the origin of the special component parts. Future legacy pieces…created today.
Teracottage is a unique assembly of designers, craftsmen and artisans who share the vision and travel the journey to bring beauty, quality and interest into everyday life.
The company is the continuing vision of designer/craftsman Keith Pyontek and is the first child of the parent Re|Structure, a luxury brand design-build firm that creates homes which display clean design, superior craftsmanship and fine appointments.
"In Re|Structure, it is my desire to build home environments that reflect a certain quality lifestyle, a style that embraces the finer elements of life and abounds with the details that elevate the senses. To reach this plateau we must not only build structures, but also fill them with items that complete our intention."
Teracottage fills this niche as a home décor company that specializes in items for the yard and garden. Our work resonates with my passions for the home, nature, the arts and living a quality lifestyle.
