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, 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.
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.

Fred Ganim is a furniture maker who lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. His practice is intuitive and process-driven; clean lines and carefully constructed joints emerge in a contemporary collision of traditional artisanal techniques and modern, forward-thinking ideas. Ganim’s work pushes at the perceived limitations of timber, his primary material; it is bent, folded and coaxed into unlikely, undulating curves.
Transposed from timber to stone, Ganim’s signature joint is thrust to the forefront of his creations. Marble flows fluidly through grooves, curves and cantilevers, exuding a tactility and sense of ceremony that resonates through a room.MASS, produced by Agglomerati, is his first collection of works in stone.

Maria Tykaina is a multidisciplinary designer driven by a fascination with the relationship between objects, people, and the physical world. Tykaina’s creations encourage shared experiences and conversations inspired by the intrinsic qualities of materials.
'Between a rock and a hard place' is a collection that finds an equilibrium between fluid and solid forms. Curved to resemble human gestures and postures, BARAAHP explores the complexities and subtleties of the human experience, balancing physical function through sculptural form. The first iteration in stone is created from reclaimed Rosso Portugal from a retired stone mason. This marble offers an eclectic mix of flesh-soft pink and clean white plains, adding to the bodily qualities of the objects.
Coming Soon.
