Maria Tyakina and Agglomerati carve out a delicate discord in their mini collection of stone objects—where marble feigns suppleness, and flesh lingers as a stain upon permanence.
The designer bends the weight of marble to her will, drawing softness from stone in a collection that suspends movement in stillness. Fluid yet fixed, the pieces exist in a quiet tension—where marble feigns flexibility, and solidity dissolves into illusion.
Reclaimed Rosso Aurora marble, veined in pinks and whites, carries echoes of past formations, now reshaped into objects that blur the boundary between sculpture and function. Tyakina’s signature forms remain familiar, yet in stone, they shift—no longer ephemeral, but anchored in permanence.
Agglomerati is a London-based studio crafting distinctive stone furniture with a focus on timeless design. Founded in 2019 by Sam Henley, the studio balances geometric precision with the rich, tactile qualities of natural stone. Each piece is made to order in Northern Italy, using traditional techniques to ensure lasting permanence. Beyond its collections, Agglomerati collaborates with designers across disciplines, pushing the boundaries of stone through bold, sculptural interventions.
Maria Tyakina is a designer whose work navigates the intersection of form, movement, and materiality. With a background in both architecture and industrial design, she crafts objects that challenge the static nature of materials, imbuing them with a sense of motion and fluidity. Her practice is defined by a precise yet intuitive approach, where sculptural expression meets functional design.
