Sacs Tecnorib with Mar Garrente at the Florence Biennale
Alongside some of the most significant works on the international art scene, from 18 to 26 October, the Florence Biennale featured Mar Garrente, a sculpture designed by Christian Grande and crafted by master artisans at Henraux for Sacs Tecnorib, the global leader in maxi-RIBs. The presence of Mar Garrente at the Biennale reinforced the central role of design in Sacs Tecnorib’s philosophy, where innovation and emotion are expressed through a singular bold aesthetic.
From 18 to 26 October, the Florence Biennale of Contemporary Art, one of the world’s most prestigious events dedicated to art and design, featured Mar Garrente, a futuristic sculpture commissioned by Sacs Tecnorib and brought to life by designer Christian Grande and Henraux, a renowned Italian marble craft company.
Sculpted from Bianco Altissimo marble, Mar Garrente is the result of a concept developed by Sacs Tecnorib that explores the principles of Futurism and the dynamic intersection of art, design, and material. The work invited viewers to consider how seemingly distinct disciplines can harmoniously coexist, breaking free from traditional boundaries.
The use of marble, a material deeply rooted in classical tradition, establishes a dialogue with the history of sculpture. At the same time, the piece’s fluid lines and rhythmic structure evoke the motion and energy of modernity. In this interplay between stillness and movement, the sculpture generates a kind of "visual noise": a vibration that recalls the wind, the sea, and the power of the waves. These elements become metaphors for a constantly evolving creative force.
Start of form
End of form
“We sought a work of art that would recount our story while looking ahead,” says Nicola Antonelli, Chief Marketing Officer of Sacs Tecnorib.
For Christian Grande, the challenge was to “capture the distinctive stylistic codes of the brand and translate them into an iconic symbol.”
The result is not self-celebratory, but a forward-looking design statement: a concept inspired by a high-performance Sport Coupé boat, conveying speed, energy, power, and solidity.
With this project, Sacs Tecnorib reaffirms its commitment to stylistic innovation while hinting at the future of nautical design. The visual language of Mar Garrente will influence upcoming models, both marking a new chapter for the brand and offering a glimpse of what lies ahead.
