COR

by Agglomerati and Tom Fereday

Cor is a series of towering, illuminated sculptures, each one exuding a gravity that speaks to the fundamental nature of stone. Named after the Latin word for “heart,” Cor alludes to Earth as an organism, taking form through a series of luminous dissections of the porous surface, revealing a life source within.
The collection comprises six monolithic totems unique in height and formed around a piercing, spherical aperture that binds the collection. This negative space opens variously in each iteration, adding to the vessels’ enigmatic presence that glows radiantly when lit.
Crafted from Roman travertine sourced from Tivoli and produced in the renowned Italian marble region of Pietrasanta, each piece in this limited-edition series showcases intricate and innovative internal coring, demonstrating a synthesis of material innovation and natural stone machining on an impressive scale. The pitted and permeable formations of the stone’s structure are revealed through a unique angled cut aligning the patination of the stone, serving as a testament to its millions of years resonating within Earth’s core.

AGGLOMERATI is a London based studio creating distinctive stone furniture rooted in simplicity, functionality and longevity.
Alongside its collections the studio connects multidisciplinary designers with Northern Italy’s foremost craftspeople to bring fresh new perspectives to a time-honoured material. 

Fascinated by the tension that lies between natural materials and contemporary design and manufacture, Tom Fereday develops unique designs originating from an intrinsic inquiry into the role of objects today. Built on the principle of honest design Tom Fereday’s work celebrates the materials and manufacture behind furniture and objects, guiding considered and thoughtful design outcomes that explore the notion of quiet innovation. Born in Australia, Tom Fereday grew up in London studying sculpture at the Wimbledon School of Art before moving to Australia to complete an honours in Industrial Design in Sydney. Tom Fereday went on to found his sole practice in 2012.
