At Carrara Studio, every artwork begins as a quiet gesture — shaped with intention, refined through emotion, and rooted in material exploration. But the story doesn’t end when the piece leaves our studio. How an object is delivered is as much a part of our philosophy as how it’s made.
In a world overwhelmed by speed and excess, we believe in slowness, precision, and care. Packaging is not a formality — it is the continuation of the object’s essence. It protects, elevates, and frames the transition between creator and collector.
Sculptural Art, Thoughtfully Protected
Our collections — Escapism, Arche, and Catharsis — are sculptural by nature, with distinctive tactile textures and surfaces that command attention. Yet many of our pieces are surprisingly lightweight thanks to our proprietary techniques, allowing for easier installation and transport. Still, protection matters deeply.
We take packaging and shipping seriously — each artwork is individually packed, using multiple protective layers (typically between 2 to 6 depending on the piece). The outer structure is a thick, high-strength cardboard, designed to absorb impact, while the inner materials are selected to cushion and support the specific sculptural form.
To date, we’ve shipped over 300 artworks worldwide — from homes and design studios to hotels and galleries — with zero damages. We ship exclusively via UPS and DHL couriers to ensure tracked, insured, and secure delivery, whether your destination is London, Tokyo, Paris, or New York.
A Packaging Philosophy: Minimal, Intelligent, Beautiful
Every detail matters.
For smaller works and interior objects, we offer a custom packaging experience:
- Matte black rigid boxes,
- Embossed logo cards,
- Carrara-branded ribbons,
- Carefully wrapped artworks resting inside minimalist interiors.
This packaging is not only protective — it’s gift-worthy, collectible, and designed to be kept. The unboxing experience is quiet, intentional, and emotionally resonant. We treat it as part of the artwork itself.
Sustainability as Standard
Nearly all of our packaging materials are sustainable, recyclable, and biodegradable. We work consciously to minimize plastic, though in rare cases — where additional reinforcement is needed for international travel — we may use small amounts to ensure safety. Even then, we prioritize low-waste, low-impact choices.
Our philosophy is rooted in balance: between strength and beauty, necessity and restraint, protection and elegance.
A Note on Artwork Surfaces
While the surface of our works is durable, we design and package them with respect. Their textures — whether the delicate white rhythm of Escapism, the primal density of Arche, or the raw emotional surface of Catharsis — deserve to arrive flawlessly.
We include a custom feather duster with each artwork, a quiet tool for daily care that also reflects the tactile softness and sensitivity of our collections.
We Ship More Than Art — We Ship Atmosphere
Our collectors often describe their first encounter with a Carrara piece as a kind of slow revelation. That moment — the lifting of a lid, the feel of the materials, the silence of the form — it begins with how we pack.
Art doesn’t begin or end in the studio. It lives through its journey. And we make sure that journey is as safe, intelligent, and beautiful as the piece itself.
Your space deserves more than decoration. It deserves presence.
And we ensure it arrives with care.
