THERSIC is the collaborative project of industrial designer, Wes Cox, and artist/illustrator, Kiersten Essenpreis.  To be viewed as an extension of their studio/loft, it’s a combination of ideas, objects, and images they both collect and create;  A grab-bag of all things strange and pretty.

The word thersic has been in Wes’ family for generations, a made up term used by his great grandmother, Mimi, it supposedly was coined by her grandmother.  A thersic, best defined as a “treat”, or “little treasure”, was often given as a special reward to well behaved grandchildren, or as a small surprise gift to a close and dear friend.

THERSIC has since been used by Wes and Kiersten to help define their design aesthetic, develop small collaborative projects, and of course, to collect more treats of the eye.
