Mazer represents a series of geometric sculptures, each a celebration of the fundamental beauty and natural variation of stone and timber. Strict brutalist forms of the table and seating collection are juxtaposed by soft organic cutaways carving through the natural surfaces, revealing the beauty and character of travertine and wood. Named after the medieval term ‘Mazer’ meaning bowl, the collection presents subtle organic forms proportioned for table and seating function designed for permanence. Porous formations of the stone and timbers structure act as an intentional disruption to the clean geometric forms of the series offering character and intrigue.

The series are crafted from travertine and solid oak and walnut all locally produced from a combination of machine and traditional hand made processes, each piece exhibiting its own unique characteristics and form with no one piece alike. Mazer is designed by Australian designer Tom Fereday exemplifying Fereday’s desire to honour materiality, combining form and function to produce enduring works.
