Rebeca Cors

Rebeca Cors is a Mexican artist and designer born in 1988 and based in Mexico City. Her practice explores the relationship between abstract sculpture and functional objects, creating furniture, lighting, and sculptural works that invite both contemplation and interaction. She studied industrial design at Universidad Iberoamericana before continuing her artistic education at Central Saint Martins in London, where her exploration of sculpture helped shape the direction of her work.

Inspired by geological formations, natural landscapes, and the proportions of the human body, Cors develops compositions centered on balance, simplicity, and stillness. Curved silhouettes and carefully arranged volumes evoke familiar organic forms without describing them literally. Through these abstractions, she seeks to create moments of pause and an intimate connection between the viewer and the object.

Material exploration is central to her process. Working with stone, wood, metal, and minerals, she begins by studying their texture, resistance, and potential for transformation. Close collaboration with Mexican artisans allows her to combine technical experimentation with traditional knowledge. Her works are handmade in Mexico, with the preservation and reinterpretation of local craftsmanship forming an essential part of her practice.

Collections such as Aria and Espiga investigate how sculpture can also serve a practical purpose. Her stone works include compositions in travertine, black Monterrey marble, and serpentine, allowing the material’s natural qualities to remain visible within restrained forms. Across these explorations, Cors treats simplicity as the result of thoughtful refinement, bringing emotional expression and the precision of industrial design into the same object.

Her work has been presented at Zona Maco, Design Week México, and international design events in Milan, New York, and Venice, as well as exhibitions at MUAC and Museo Tamayo. In 2021, she was included in Architectural Digest México and Latin America’s AD100 and commissioned to create the trophy for its Iconos del Diseño awards, a sculpture carved in black Monterrey marble. Her practice has also been featured in Openhouse and Galerie Philia’s editorial platform, reflecting its position within contemporary Mexican art and collectible design.
