Corezone is a heart-shaped object in which you can place something, whether a thought or emotion just like a fortune cookie. In order to release your emotion you must — well — break your heart. It’s kind of like a hiding place for secrets, or like the designers Agnieszka Mazur and Dorota Skalska say: “An attempt to fulfill emotional needs by the means of an object, a try to withhold immaterial being in a material space.”
The concept of Corezone was originally developed by Dorota during a semester project at school at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. It emerged while she was trying to answer the question if emotional needs could be fulfilled by the means of an object. While Dorota was on the search which material would be best for the concept realization, Agnieszka came with answer and they joined forces. Soon the first of two sets of prototypes were realized in ceramic.
I think one of these would be really cool for letters you’d like people to read after you die or things you’d like to tell your children when you’re gone. They can break the heart in remembrance. What would you store inside?
You can buy one in their Etsy shop.

Hi, I was wondering if this is an actual object that the designer has been selling. If so, where can I buy one? I’d like to buy one or two as birthday gifts. Thanks

I’m so shocked that they actually broke one. I’d probably glue it back together and call it ‘broken heart’

Hi, this is just such a beautiful idea and I want to buy one of those hearts for my best friend as a christmas gift fulfilled with little notes why I love her and about all the fun things we did, maybe even little photos.
But where can I buy one? I looked up in the shop but I can´t buy one there. Any chance to get one here in Germany?
