PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

About this Marble Horse Sculpture

Metis is practical intelligence, cunning, and the ability to see through another’s eyes. It is the artist’s knowledge, transforming raw material and revealing the hidden sculpture within the marble block.

It embodies the strategist’s skill, shifting the tide of an uneven battle to his advantage. Metis is the chess player’s final move, unraveling a complex game shaped by unpredictable variables.

Its essence is sculpted in marble, captured in a marble horse sculpture, chest lifted, neck arched, symbolizing equestrian discipline. Flowing lines, unpredictable veins, and polished curves ignite creativity in those who project imagination onto this timeless piece.

about the designer

Brought to life by the ancient atmosphere of Venice, the lagoon city, CARCINO Design Studio interprets the universal language of form, function, and design. It embraces both East and West. The studio primarily focuses on discovering beauty in design and architecture.

Founded in Venice in 2021 by architects Maria Pernice and Marco Brotto, CARCINO Design Studio specializes in product design and interior spaces.

Idea, design, materials, and communication, all come together to form a CARCINO Design piece. From the fusion of premium materials and dynamic silhouettes emerges a collection of finely crafted objects. These are proudly made in Italy, embodying local culture and expertise.

Each step of their artisanal production process is meticulously supervised to ensure the highest quality. This is why CARCINO Design creations, fully customizable and made-to-order, are sought-after additions to our clients’ collections.

Archaic lines, echoing the classical world, merge seamlessly with a metaphysical and futuristic vision. Their creations result from a creative process that begins with freehand sketches. They integrate the latest technological tools in design to shape the material. They represent a transition between traditional design methods and innovative development. Analog and digital tools coexist and interact seamlessly.

In this dialogue between the virtual and the real, both are refined to their highest degree of perfection. This achieves the purest form of communication. Each piece narrates the intrinsic relationship between material and design. It also expresses the dignity and greatness of every individual.

Thanks to their multifaceted approach to design, they have had the privilege of crafting furniture components for prestigious companies. Among them is the historic Minotti. They provide decorative items for exhibitions such as Salone del Mobile in Milan, as well as for showrooms worldwide.

Blurring the boundaries between design and art, CARCINO Design creations are represented by prominent international galleries, including the Portuguese October Gallery.

In 2024, CARCINO Studio was recognized among the emerging under-35 talents at Genoa Design Week. With Superbia Domus, they successfully passed the selection for Editions. This is the first limited-edition art and design fair in the Middle East, debuting at Dubai Design Week.

The international marble fair Marmomac 2024 will provide an exclusive backdrop for a selection of new creations. These are born from their collaboration with The Marble Whisper and Demetra, symbols of excellence in marble craftsmanship.
