Our Story
Chapter 1: The Morning Everything Changed
Marc has walked the Thames foreshore at Waterloo for years. But one morning, at low tide, something shifted. Among the mud and debris, he noticed slate — ancient, weathered slate that had been tumbling beneath the city for centuries. Not quarried stone. Not manufactured material. This was London, literally beneath London.
Chapter 2: The River’s Gallery
The Thames is London’s longest-running art gallery. For centuries, it has been collecting material — stones, clay, fragments of buildings and bridges — and tumbling them until they become something entirely new. The foreshore at Waterloo is a gallery of geological memory. Every piece tells the story of what London used to be.
Chapter 3: Stone Meets Light
With each piece of slate, Marc saw possibility. Using precision laser technology, he began engraving the landmarks that define modern London — Big Ben, St Paul’s, Tower Bridge, the skyline as we know it. On stone as old as the city itself. The result is a conversation between two Londons: the ancient and the contemporary, the buried and the built, the river’s memory and human craft.
Chapter 4: Two Founders, One River
Marc is “The Eye” — the mudlarker, the artist, the one who sees beauty in the riverbed. Ian is “The Push” — the strategist, the visionary, the one who imagines what these pieces could become. Together, they founded Memoza. Not a factory. Not a workshop. A collaboration between intuition and strategy, between the river and human intention, between what London was and what it is.
Chapter 5: Culture As A Product
Memoza exists at the intersection of art, craft, and commerce. Each piece is a conversation with London — with its history, its geography, its soul. When you own a Memoza piece, you’re not buying an object. You’re taking ownership of a story. You’re connecting to the river, the city, and the hands that shaped both.
