When people first encounter our work at Carrara Studio, one of the most common reactions is surprise:
"It looks so heavy… but it’s not."
And that’s exactly the point.
Our sculptural artworks are designed to look monumental, yet remain surprisingly lightweight — both in form and functionality. In a world where aesthetics often come at the cost of practicality, we’ve developed proprietary techniques that allow interior-worthy, textured art to live easily within any space.
Whether you're a private collector, an interior designer, or a developer working on a large-scale project, the weight of an artwork matters. And we’ve made sure it works in your favor.
ESCAPISM: Light as Thought
The Escapism collection is our most lightweight series — a poetic study of texture, rhythm, and memory. At first glance, these works resemble ceramics or clay — solid, tactile, sculptural. But the reality is far more practical.
Thanks to a unique, hand-developed technique, Escapism pieces are:
- Exceptionally lightweight: averaging 5–10 kg for large-format works and as little as 500 grams for miniatures.
- Easy to hang on any wall — even in spaces where structural support is limited.
- Flexible and durable: the surface is soft and elastic, meaning it won’t crack over time like traditional plaster or clay.
- Effortless to transport or relocate, making them ideal for private collectors, interior stylists, and dynamic living spaces.
With Escapism, you get the visual impact of sculptural depth — without the logistical weight.
ARCHE: Grounded, Solid, Enduring
Our Arche collection explores primal elements — earth, ash, hay, stone — and as such, feels denser in tone and surface. Yet even here, we've balanced material honesty with thoughtful engineering.
While Arche pieces are slightly heavier — averaging 10–20 kg for larger works — they remain easy to handle and install, without requiring complex mounting systems.
The surfaces are firm and structured, but resistant to cracking or breakage. It’s the kind of work that feels grounded and solid, but never fragile. Ideal for spaces that require a sense of permanence — hotels, galleries, retail spaces, or residences that embrace nature and tactility.
CATHARSIS: Sculptural Without the Burden
Catharsis might look like it’s made of clay or heavy ceramic — raw, expressive, deeply emotional in surface and depth. But this collection also hides a secret: it’s far lighter than it appears.
These sculptural wall pieces average 1–2 kg each, making them:
- Visually powerful yet easy to handle
- Safe for delicate walls or high placements
- Practical for international shipping and installation
The technique behind Catharsis is proprietary — developed in-house by our founder, Lera Sanzharovets — and reflects our commitment to merging visual intensity with modern functionality.
Why Lightweight Matters
Weight isn't just a physical attribute — it’s a practical concern for:
- Collectors in rented or older buildings, where wall structures can’t bear heavy loads
- Designers working with lightweight or movable partitions
- Fit-out companies and property developers who need scalable, easy-to-install artwork
- Retailers and gallery owners who need pieces that can be reinstalled or rotated
At Carrara Studio, we believe art should not be a burden — it should live, breathe, and move with you. That’s why we’ve designed each collection to honor form without compromising function.
The illusion of weight is a form of magic.
But the ease of living with art — that’s real.
