In an age defined by speed and innovation, the desire to reconnect with heritage and artistic depth feels not just relevant, but essential. In this context, Mar Garrente emerges not merely as a design object, but as a work of art — a sculptural statement that transcends the functional and speaks the visual language of eternity, movement, and brand identity. It is a project that embodies the very soul of Sacs Tecnorib through a medium as timeless as marble.
A Concept Beyond Form
Mar Garrente is the result of a bold collaboration between Christian Grande, one of Italy’s most renowned nautical designers, and Henraux, the historic marble atelier synonymous with craftsmanship and sculpture. At its core, this is not a technical object, but an expressive creation — an embodiment of how design can shape and narrate an entire brand identity. And it does so not through carbon fiber or steel, but through Bianco Altissimo marble, a noble and eternal material.
This sculpture is not just a concept, but the opening chapter of a new story for Sacs Tecnorib — a symbolic milestone that will inform the brand’s future design language and serve as an emblem of its creative vision.
The Aesthetics of Motion in a Static Material
Inspired by Futurism — an artistic movement that celebrates modernity, speed, and dynamism — Mar Garrente brings motion to marble. Fluid, etched lines recall wind and sea, evoking not just form but sensation. The sculpture’s shape, reminiscent of a high-performance Sport Coupé boat, defies the stillness of its material and seems to pulse with kinetic energy.
This tension between solidity and movement mirrors the DNA of Sacs Tecnorib vessels: a perfect balance of performance and elegance, engineering and emotion.
Henraux: Marble as Medium, Sculpture as Vision
The role of Henraux in this project goes far beyond craftsmanship. As guardians of a centuries-old tradition of marble carving, their artisans bring to life a piece that stands at the intersection of classical sculpture and contemporary design. The material may be ancient, but the result is visionary — a modern relic that redefines what a brand can express through form.
Henraux doesn’t just work with marble; it gives it meaning, transforming each block into a canvas for innovation, storytelling, and identity.
Design as Sacs Tecnorib’s Visual Philosophy
For Sacs Tecnorib, design is not decoration — it is identity. From the pioneering Strider series, to the sleek and sporty PIRELLI Speedboats, to the bold elegance of the Rebel line, each product reflects a deliberate commitment to form, function, and aesthetics.
With Mar Garrente, this philosophy finds its purest artistic expression. It is not a celebratory totem, but a design manifesto, one that takes the brand’s core stylistic codes and crystallizes them into marble.
A Sculptural Statement for the Future
As Nicola Antonelli, Chief Marketing Officer of Sacs Tecnorib, puts it: “We wanted a design work that tells our story while looking ahead.” And indeed, Mar Garrente is not about nostalgia — it is about projection. Its dynamic language, its carved waves and aerodynamic tension, all point toward what’s next — not just for Sacs Tecnorib, but for the very future of nautical aesthetics.
This sculpture is both a symbol and a prototype, a glimpse into the creative soul of the brand. As future boat models draw inspiration from its form and language, Mar Garrente stands as a marble beacon, charting a course toward a more expressive, artistic, and innovative future.
More than an object, Mar Garrente is a design poem — a fusion of tradition and vision, stone and sea. It is a lasting reminder that when art and industry converge, something truly timeless is born.
