On the occasion of the tenth edition of White Carrara – “Design Lives in the City”, taking place from June 5 to August 30, 2026, in the historic center of Carrara, Henraux is pleased to announce its participation in a project that celebrates the dialogue between contemporary design, local heritage, and marble culture.
As President Paolo Carli highlights:
“We are particularly proud to take part in this edition for the second consecutive year and to once again collaborate with Ross Lovegrove, a leading figure in international design, who has once again chosen the white marble from Henraux’s Cervaiole quarry (Municipality of Seravezza) for the creation of his work ‘FLOWING FORMS OF DISCONTINUITY IN LIFE’.
This collaboration reaffirms the expressive value of our marble, which is capable of engaging with contemporary visions while maintaining a strong connection to the tradition and the territory from which it originates.”
Designer Ross Lovegrove has been at the forefront of shaping the world around us for nearly five decades, earning numerous awards and having his works included in the permanent collections of many of the world's most prestigious museums, including New York’s MoMA, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Centre Pompidou. His work merges art, design, materials, and technology, creating a new organic and biomorphic iconography—an extension of the forces of nature.
As the designer himself states:
“The sculpture, carved from Bianco Altissimo marble, continues my creative vision of extending Futurism into the 21st century. It suggests a hybrid human form, partly anatomical and partly ‘oid’, caught in a state of fight or flight, converging with or diverging from the uncertainties of emerging agentic life unfolding without our consent. It conveys a form of energy in motion that touches our emotional and instinctive intelligence, frozen in marble for future generations as part of the archaeology of the future.”
For Henraux, participating in White Carrara means contributing to a project that enhances Carrara’s cultural and industrial heritage while promoting new forms of research, innovation, and experimentation in the fields of design and architecture.
