Object No.2 / The Baroness, Porto Marble

During a project with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which involved the work of Constantin Brâncuși, ‘The Sleeping Muse’ became the inspiration for this object. During our research, we discovered that the original sculpture, created in 1910, was carved from white marble, and Baroness Renée-Irana Frachon was the original muse. ‘The Baroness’ was conceived from one of the project’s unseen clay prototypes. In homage to Brâncuși, we produced this object in Portoro Marble with an inserted polished bronze abstract face.

Also available in Rosso Levanto Marble with a polished chrome insert.
