Cor Unum Contemporary Ceramics, founded in 1953 as Cor Unum ("one of heart"), is a ceramics studio that has been housed in 's-Hertogenbosch since its inception. Cor Unum is recognizable by its logo with the tree of life. The company has its roots in Social Employment. In the mid-1990s, Cor Unum's management deliberately chose the niche of exclusive design. Based on the idea that Cor Unum has the experience and know-how of the technical process. Non-ceramists do not allow themselves to be limited in advance by assumed technical impossibilities, so instead let the designs come from people who are not hindered by technical knowledge of the clay.
