TERSICORE

Tersicore marks the beginning of my dreams—and it will also mark the end. I hope you enjoy your item as much as I enjoyed creating it. Below, you’ll find all the details about the Tersicore collections.

VISION

There’s no set timeline for the collections. Each year will bring a new one, split into four or more parts, released throughout the year. Some collections might be more generous in quantity, but most will be produced in very limited numbers.
There will be at least four collections—one for each year I expect to live. If I die before reaching that goal, Tersicore will end as well.
Tersicore will die too means the company will shut down forever, with no further collections released or sold.
Many designers have passed away, only for their names to be exploited by others to sell overpriced products devoid of authenticity. I refuse to let that happen with Tersicore. When I’m gone, the brand will go with me.
Authenticity and Craftsmanship
I want to encourage designers and creatives to work for themselves rather than allow corporations to exploit their talents or tarnish their legacies with degenaracy.
My collections follow no rules, much like destiny itself. The items may vary depending on my circumstances, and all of them will be limited and numbered. This guarantees their exclusivity, unlike brands that falsely claim rarity while mass-producing millions of items.
For example, the most famous luxury leather bag company has produced over two million bags to date—and continuing. Tersicore will never follow this path.
I see each piece as art with a story to tell. Art, when done right, is a beautiful thing, but it should also serve a purpose. A well-made sword can be a stunning decoration, but it’s also a dangerous weapon.
However, it’s not enough to simply call something art. A beautiful sword that has never seen battle is just an ordinary sword. Art without a story, meaning, or purpose isn’t truly art—it’s merely decoration.

PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT

Every aspect of Tersicore—from the website to packaging, materials, auctions, and memberships—has been personally designed and overseen by me. I will never hire a designer to create for Tersicore.
While tasks like programming and manufacturing are outsourced, every decision is made under my supervision to ensure the vision remains intact.
Manufacturing is exclusively done in Italy, supporting skilled craftspeople whose expertise is slowly disappearing due to global competition.

ABOUT

Tersicore is one of the nine Muses, the goddess of dance and chorus.
The image of Tersicore represents a dancing marionette, symbolizing human beings — controlled by the threads of destiny. Humans don’t have a choice but to embrace how their lives unfold and keep dancing until the end.
Personally, it seems humans are not so different from marionettes.
The name Tersicore is written on a musical staff, referencing the harmony of life.
The 12 spheres rotating around the marionette represent time passing—an ever-present reminder of life’s fleeting nature.

TIMER & LIFESPAN BAR

The Timer represents how much time I have left to live.
The Lifespan Bar contains 50 boxes, each representing a year of life. Each year, another box turns red. If I live longer than 50 years, I may continue creating, but I haven’t decided yet.
If I die before reaching the 50th year, Tersicore will end immediately.

AUCTIONS

When it comes to pricing, I want to give the public the freedom to decide.
Each item will have a starting price that covers business costs and enough profit to fund future collections. Beyond that, prices will be determined through auctions.
Members, however, will have the option to skip the auction and purchase items at the initial set price.
Unlike other companies, I won’t manipulate customers into buying unnecessary items to gain access to more prestigious ones. Everyone is welcome under one simple rule: first come, first served.
If you see something you like, feel free to purchase it. Instead of holding you back, I’d like to offer you cashback on your purchase—something no other company in this space is doing.
The purpose of auctions is also sustainability. Instead of overproducing and burning unsold stock like other brands, I’ll create items only for those who genuinely want them. Each item of each collection will be numbered ensuring its uniqueness.

There is no fixed schedule for auctions—they may happen a week apart or months apart, depending on the collection.
I guarantee a minimum of four collections. Auctions will always be announced little in advance.

Just for more clarity.
Even I won’t reserve items for myself. If I want an item, I will have to buy it through the same process as everyone else, either through auction or membership. Items used for marketing will be sold separately through the Tersicore Foundation to raise funds after my death.

Lastly, if you expect items to be made and shipped within days of purchase, Tersicore is not for you. Each item is personalized to your specifications right after the purchase, and that takes time. If you want instant gratification, I suggest visiting your local mall.

MEMBERSHIP

Memberships are for those who truly appreciate Tersicore and have supported it from the beginning. Members will receive special benefits, and their loyalty will be rewarded.

I have nothing against resellers. In fact, one of the goals of this project is to create items that increase in value over time. If you purchase something and sell it for 10 times the price, I’ll be happy for you.
Unlike other brands that fight resellers, I see them as proof of value.

Small but very important detail : If the items were purchased by all the membership holders, only 5,000 pieces would remain available for auction…

FOUNDATION

When I pass away, Tersicore will close for good, and any remaining profits will go to the Tersicore Foundation.

The foundation’s primary mission will be to protect animals, giving a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. Many species have gone extinct in silence, and I want to help change that.

The foundation will also support marginalized groups, such as orphans, the disabled, and those with severe illnesses. If resources allow, we’ll expand our efforts to other areas of need.

Transparency will be at the heart of the foundation. Every donation and expenditure will be documented and shared with the public online through the website.

While I’m alive, I won’t ask for donations. But if you believe the foundation is doing the right thing, you’ll have the option to contribute but only after my death.

If you’ve made it this far, i’d like to thank you.

Please avoid waiting until the last minute to purchase your membership, as high traffic may cause the website to crash.
