true stone designer

Damian Cudmore leads true stone design after three decades designing, crafting and building stone.

Beyond artisanship found in the restoration of historical stone buildings, Damian’s designs are informed by studies in architecture, sociology and theatre.

These eclectic influences have led to true stone design, where Damian explores the effect of different stone proportions, arrangements and textures upon the human experience of space.

Vitruvius, in Rome 2,100 years ago, described this intangible sensation as venustas, or ‘spatial delight’.

The goal of true stone design is to ask of each space one question:

“how might a traditional detail here add delight?
